Great walk yesterday. If you look at map belo walk starts at the Car park at bottom of woods (just opposite main road exit from castlegregory to stradbally village). 1st part of walk is up the forestry road to a base station, road ends here so you have to make your own way up the mountain as there is no clear path.
