Under the Programme Axis 4, Objective 4, which seeks to increase the capacity of remote and sparsely populated communities for sustainable environmental management, the ASCENT project, was developed. Donegal County Council (DCC) managed the European project and worked with local and environmental authorities including Metsähallitus Parks & Wildlife Finland (PWF), the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland (SCSI), Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC) and Mourne Heritage Trust (MHT) in Northern Ireland and Hordaland County Council (HCC) in Norway from 2016 to 2019, for its successful implementation. In addition, Údarás na Gaeltachta in Ireland, Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust in Northern Ireland, Mossfellsbaer Municipality and Skaftárhreppur in Iceland were associated with the project.

    1 A climbers guide to Donegal Winter Climbing By Iain Miller www.uniqueascent.ie 2 Crag Index Muckish Mountain 4 Mac Uchta 8 Errigal 10 Maumlack 13 Poison Glen 15 Slieve Snaght 17 Horseshoe Corrie (Lough Barra) 19 Bluestacks (N) 22 Bluestacks (S) 22 www.uniqueascent.ie 3 Winter Climbing in Donegal. Winter climbing in the County of Donegal in the North West of Ireland is quite simply outstanding, alas it has a very fleeting window of opportunity. Due to it’s coastal position and relatively low lying mountains good winter conditions in Donegal are a rare commodity indeed. Usually temperatures have to be below 0 for 5 days consecutively, and down to -5 at night, and an ill timed dump of snow can spoil it all. To take advantage of these fleeting conditions you have to drop everything, and brave the inevitably appalling road conditions to get there, for be assured, it won’t last! When Donegal does come into prime Winter condition the crux of your days climbing will without a doubt be travelling by road throughout the county. In this guide I have tried to only use National primary and secondary roads as a means to travel and access. There are of course many regional and third class roads which provide much closer access to the mountains but under winter conditions these can very quickly become unpassable. The first recorded winter climbing I am aware of, was done in the Horsehoe Corrie in the early seventies and since then barely a couple of new routes have been logged anywhere in Donegal each decade since that! It was the winter of 2009/2010 that one of the coldest and longest winters in recorded history occurred with over 6 weeks of minus temperatures and snowdrifts of up to 12m in the Donegal uplands.

[This is an update to the article written in February 2014]. The presence of the Mountain Ringlet (Erebia epiphron) in Ireland has been a topic of much interest to Lepidopterists for decades, partly because of the small number of specimens that are reputedly Irish. The Irish Mountain Ringlet is truly the stuff of legend and many articles have been written over the years, including the excellent summary by Chalmers-Hunt (1982). The purpose of this article is to examine all relevant literature and, in particular, the various points of view that have been expressed over the years. This article also includes images of all four surviving specimens that can lay claim to Irish provenance and some of the sites mentioned in conjunction with these specimens are shown in Figure 1.

    Slieve Donard Resort and Spa

    The Present Day Over the past one hundred years the Slieve Donard has proved to be one of the finest and most luxurious hotels in Ireland, attracting guests from all over the world. The hotel celebrated its Centenary in 1997, and also achieved its 4 star status in that year. Over the years many additions and developments have been undertaken at the hotel; the addition of new Resort bedrooms and a magnificent new Spa in 2006 being the most significant in its history. The History of the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa Famous Guests For over a century the hotel has witnessed a massive ensemble of VIPS and Celebrities who have enjoyed the chic style and hospitality of ‘The Slieve’. Former guests at the hotel include: Percy French: Charlie Chaplin: King Leopold (of Belgium): Alan Whicker: Judith Chalmers: Dame Judi Dench: Angela Rippon: Sir Alf Ramsey: Jack Charlton: Frank Bough: Daniel O’Donnell to name but a few. In more recent times they’ve also had visits from Eamonn Holmes: Archbishop Tutu: Michael Jordan: Tiger Woods: Michael Douglas: Catherine Zeta Jones: Lee Janzen: Jack Nicklaus: Gary Player: Arnold Palmer and The Miami Dolphins. A little known fact is that even before the hotel was built it generated Slieve Donard Resort and Spa, Downs Road, interest.

    Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 32 (2020) Upland centipedes in North Wales with a review of the Welsh Chilopoda Anthony D. Barber1 and Richard Gallon2 1 7 Greenfield Drive, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 0UG. Email: [email protected] 2 23a Roumania Crescent, Llandudno, North Wales, LL30 1UP. Email: [email protected] Abstract Since Eason’s (1957) paper on centipedes from Carnarvonshire there has been an accumulation of centipede records from various parts of Wales but relatively few are from upland areas. Recent records from Snowdonia included several species, including Lithobius (Monotarsobius) curtipes, from locations up to around 1,000m. We present a review of centipedes recorded from the 13 Welsh vice-counties which includes 41 species, 4 of which are from buildings or heated greenhouses, 4 apparently obligate halophiles from coastal sites and one doubtful. Wales has a variety of types of habitat including both lowland and montane rural areas and urban/industrial/post-industrial locations which no doubt contributes to the diversity of its chilopod fauna. Introduction The centipede Lithobius curtipes is not known in Britain from large numbers of past records, indeed in his Cotteswold paper of 1953, E.H. Eason (Eason, 1953) had referred to his record from Kildanes Scrubs, Gloucestershire in 1952 as only the third British record. The finding of it by RG at around 1,000m in Snowdonia, along with Lithobius variegatus and Strigamia acuminata at similar heights, prompted us to look at the occurrence of upland centipedes in North Wales and in Wales in general and to review the species recorded from the principality.
  • The MOUNTAINS of IRELAND

    The MOUNTAINS of IRELAND

    The MOUNTAINS of IRELAND PREFACE The appeal of the mountains is, to some extent, a personal and subjective thing: each of us has some particular and individual response to the beauty of the hills. To that extent, this book, which attempts a brief survey of the Irish mountains, is a personal impression. These are the features of the different groups which I myself select as their special characteristics. And with this description of the hills, I have tried to include some account of the history and geology of the mountain country, and to venture to indicate some of the meanings of the Irish place-names. Ireland is not a mountainous country in the ordinary sense of the word. Yet her small groups of mountains dominate the far more extensive plains, and are themselves true mountains and not mere hills. Each range, too, differs from all the rest, so that the Irish highlands include almost all the variations to be found in mountain scenery, from the smooth uplands of the Wicklow hills to the broken rocks of the Reeks at Killarney and the bare quartzite of the Twelve Bens. Mountaineering is still a young sport in Ireland and the hills are not as well known as they should be either to the Irish people themselves or to our visitors. And to the extent that the mountains are not known, this account of them is a signpost to the hills. D.D.O.P.M. August 1955 S L I E V E A U G H T Y Perhaps the most striking impression of these uplands, through which the Shannon has to carve its way from the levels of the Central Plain to the open sea below Limerick, is gained by sailing up from that town to Lough Derg, when the river, and its canalised section above the powerhouse at Ardnacrusha, seem to be leading one into the depths of the hills Mils which are framed by the white concrete bridges spanning the canal section, symmetrical, like a Japanese painting.

  • About the Walks

    WALKING IN FERMANAGH About the Walks The walks have been graded into four categories Easy Short walks generally fairly level going on well surfaced routes. Moderate Longer walks with some gradients and generally on well surfaced routes. Moderate/Difficult Some off road walking. Good footwear recommended. Difficult This only applies to Walk 20, a long walk only suitable for more experienced walkers correctly equipped. For those looking for a longer walk it is possible to combine some walks. These are numbers 10 and 11, 12 and 13, 18 and 20, and 24 and 25. Disclaimer Note: The maps used in this guide are taken from the original publication, published in 2000. Use of these maps is at your own risk. Bear in mind that the countryside is continually changing. This is especially true of forest areas, mainly due to the clearfelling programme. In the forests some of the footpaths may also change, either upgraded as funds become available or re-routed to overcome upkeep problems and reduce costs. These routes are not waymarked but should be by the summer of 2007. Metal barriers may well be repositioned or even removed.
