Silvermine Mountains East Top: East Top is Easy Top

Summit Comment Leatra 2 weeks ago
You can make it to the top in 15 minutes, as I did, if you don't mind being short of breath for your attack on the West Top. If you ran it'd be even less.

Coppanagh: I'd go now if I were you.

Summit Comment chelman7 3 weeks ago
Still relatively easy to get to, the forest is reclaiming the trig. Will require hacking in 18-24 months I'd guess.

Quick easy bag
by Fergalh  24 Mar 2014
Take first right after Foxford station, than proceed up road at school turn left to point G24212 06530 starA beside house there is room for one car to park. Proceed up ridge than drop down through field and back up next ridge to summit.

Always ask landowner permission to cross land, never ever damage fences and beware of livestock. Linkback: https://new.mountainviews.ie/summit/1356/comment/15938/

For such a small hill you get some great views of Lough Conn and Nephin. As this was early on Sat morning i decided not to annoy any one looking for permission to access the summit via the shortest route.Parking at G2342307395 starB allowed me access thru the forest firstly over a vehicle tract and at end of same bearing left and after a few meters to an old firebreak which brought me to forest boundry handrail to summit ridge and with no fences to navigate walk the short distance to summit G2419406944 starC. This may be a private forest but having spoken to a couple out with there dogs the owners have no problems with walkers. Linkback: https://new.mountainviews.ie/summit/1356/comment/17660/
