After Knockmealdown | Denise | 22/06/2023 |
5.5 mile walk from The Vee col car park. Straight up the steep loose path to the summit of Sugarloaf Hill. We followed the massive ridge path all the way to Knockmealdown then headed back via Knockmoylans summit on a little trail. We avoided Sugar Loaf Hill on the way back. We saw 1 person. The weather was not our friend today. As soon as we ascended the whole walk went into cloud and apart from the odd glimpse of a view we barely saw anything. 674m ascent. | DanTrig | 12/06/2023 |

Parked in the car park at Vee Gap (IS 03061 10021), crossed the road, and took the eroded path up by the dike, very steep in places. This did not ease to near the summit cairn on Sugarloaf Hill. After visiting the summit I followed the path SSW to a wide col, then ascending to the SW top of Knockmoylan. A short diversion NE brought me to the main summit. Descending to a col, I picked up the path around the corrie rim, and up to the trig point on the summit of Knockmealdown. I then retraced my route back to the col below Sugarloaf Hill. I followed a boggy track down through the peat, eroded down to the rock in places, to join another north that eventually joined the path down by the dike to the road. 10.0km, with 685m of ascent. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 11/10/2021 |
Brief detour to the summit of Knockmoylan after bagging the county high point of Knockmealdown. Took a few moments to relax and enjoy the achievement although the views were restricted due to fog closing in. | Gerry the Ranger | 28/11/2019 |
