It is a grand walk of some six miles around the miles north of Sligo, to Lough Melvin on the Fermanagh horseshoe which encloses the valley of Ardnaglass on the northern side. The ridges connecting the summits are mainly grass except where th(" limestone is exposed. There are no deep declivities although a sharp look out should be kept for fissures in the rock. It is a welcome r("lie! to traverse such a ridge, in contrast with hopping from tnssock to tussock on the undulating peat bogs which cover so many of our mountains. King's Mountain (1,527) rises like a tilted table about two miles south-east of Benbulben. The way is then north-east for a similar distance to Benweeskin (1,963), Following the edge of a grand range of cliffs to the north for another two miles, the ridge terminates in the prow of Carrownamaddoo (1,702), a narrow spur even more cloc;ely enclosed than Benbulben. Care should be taken in descending to seek a break in the cliffs; if tbere is mict the use of a compass is essential.
