    The ground was fairly boggy on the last hike. And our hiking boots were ok but we still got wet above them in a couple of spots.

    Would standard wellies be ok on some of these climbs?

    I did Mount Errigal a few weeks ago and I had read about the first section being very boggy. So i brought wellies but just for that bit. Put back on my footwear at the start of the mountain proper and put the wellies in a black bag and into the backpack. Which saved the day for me. But I personally find wellies very hard on my legs and hips if wearing for anything substantial.

    Thanks for input. Understood.

    Have you by chance done Lackavrea near Maam Cross?

    No I haven't, only getting into doing this kind of thing this summer to be honest, so I'll definitely add it to the ever growing list.

    Carting a pair of wellies around wouldn't leave much space in my backpack - I use gaiters and bring a spare pare of socks

    Ya it was a bit of a pain and I'll admit I certainly need to get familiar with some better ways of handling stuff like that.

    Anyone know how long the hike time is in total. Up to summit and back for the 12 o clock hills?

    About an hour from the Belvoir trailhead car park. If it's a weekend, get there early (parking is good but can get very busy).
