This route begins on a tarred road used by locals for turf cutting but now an unpacked track for approximately 3km of a gentle ascent before continuing up the moreland slope of Gob an Iolair.
After making our way onto the ridge to head to the top of Gob an Iolair we will then continue to Sliabh na nGabhar. From the summit we should be able to enjoy spectacular views of Brandon Bay, Macha na Bó Valley, Loch a Dúin and Crucah Bhreannáin before making our gentle descent back to our start point.
