Revisit for NW top ( Arderin Beag ) from Windy Gap. | chalky1953 | 24/06/2018 |
Started at Carlingford and the route up was fine, firm grassy path with good views. I continued along the ridge to make the circuit and soon after the summit it deteriorated into wet slipperiness with boggy sections. I should have just descended back to Carlingford | David Bell | 16/11/2017 |
