New Home!

 13th January 2010

The site is now running at a new home alongside nearby.org.uk. Please be patient if there a few things broken, we are currently testing all features to make sure they work.

We don't intend to change anything - so the site will still look and work the same as it has always done - just with a new admin.

All site functions, including registration of new users, should be now functional.

Slemish | 2009-09-12 | D 2216 0540| Elev:0 | FB: | Pillar:Definitely Missing | View:Excellent | dino
Climbed Slemish for the second time today (the first was about 11/12years ago!), mainly for the geocache close to the summit but also to see if the trigpoint was there. Not having checked here first I was disappointed only to find the remains of fixing bolts and a couple of holes in the rock. Nevertheless we did find the geocache and had a very enjoyable walk in warm sunshine. The facilities here are excellent with a good car park and a toilet block. The road and car park are large enough for a motorhome.

Lugganammer | 2009-09-05 | N 187 981| Elev:190 | FB: | Pillar:Good | View:Partly Obscured | Cul a cnoic
Very easy to find, immediately after the reservoir and inside the hedge along the lane. TP is in very good condition, has no FB and with the cap missing. View from Lugganammer now is mostly obscured because of the hedges in the surrounding field and the water reservoir. I went 100m down the road and was taken aback with the views on this clear evening. I have been that you can see eight other counties from this location in Leitrim; Longford, Roscommon, West Meath, Sligo, Monaghan, Cavan, Fermanagh & Tyrone, spanning three provinces.

Annagary Hill | 2009-09-02 | B 795 187| Elev:0 | FB: | Pillar:Good | View:Excellent | Cul a cnoic
Annagary Hill (Annagry or Anagaire) TP is in very good condition, has no FB. The views are excellent, in all directions. Aranmore to the W was visible, Bloody Foreland to the N, Errigal to the E with excellent views of the seas around this area of Donegal. After admiring the views, for too long, the light was fading & rain started to move in from the sea before I got taking photos. Access is very easy, approx 10 minute walk up the side of the hill from beside Caislean Oir.

Mizen Peak | 2009-07-29 | V 745 246| Elev:232 | FB:NA | Pillar:Good | View:Excellent | Father Ted
We came up from the east trying to follow the track marked on the map which it turns out is the old track to Mizen Head. The track has all but dissapeared making it a boggy difficult walk with lots of electric fences. Probably much better to come up from the west.

Killinakin | 2009-06-14 | J 51440 61361| Elev:65 | FB:OSNIBM3149 | Pillar:Good | View:Good | spandrel
Parking is difficult ,but possible, on the nearby lane between Killinchy & Ardmillan. Access via an over grow farm track to the east of the trig point. When the track ends turn sharp left immediately you will see a farm gate to your left on the other side of the gate again to the left is the trig point. The views are good to the east is a sweeping vista taking in Scrabo Tower to the north almost all of Strangford Lough & finishing with slightly obscured Slieve Donnard in the South.

Drumhirk | 2009-05-17 | J 46053 65701| Elev:61 | FB:OSNIBM3024 | Pillar:Good | View:Good | spandrel
On top of a small hill almost on an old field boundary made up of widely spaced weather beaten trees. Access to the start of the field boundary was via an over grown farm track to the east of the trig point. The view is good to the east is a sweeping vista taking in Scrabo Tower to the north almost all of Strangford Lough & finishing with Slieve Donnard in the South.
