FREE A GUIDE TO IRELANDS MOUNTAIN SUMMITS: THE VANDELEUR-LYNAMS & THE ARDERINS PDF MountainViews | 128 pages | 27 Aug 2013 | The Collins Press | 9781848891647 | English | Cork, Ireland A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits | The Collins Press Lugnaquilla is in the Wicklow Mountainsand overlooks the Glen of Imaal to the west and Glenmalure to the east. Irish academic Paul Tempan wrote in his Irish Hill and Mountain Namesthat the summit plateau is marked as Percy's Tablenamed after an 18th—century local landowner, Colonel Percy. Tempan also notes that P. Joyce gave the original form as Log na Coilleachwhich translates as "hollow of the grouse cocks", however, Tempan says that "this seems doubtful". Tempan clarifies the name has no connection with the deity Lugdespite the common use of the term Lug as shorthand for Lugnaquilla, [5] and that in some spellings of the name, several OS maps and A Guide to Irelands Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins for example e. Paddy Dillion's guidebooks [10]an "i" is added to give "Lugnaquillia"; however Tempan settles on "Lugnaquilla" as the proper name for the mountain. The cap of schist overlying Lugnaquilla's granite core is the remnant roof of the magma chamber into which the Lugnaquilla granites were emplaced. Lugnaquilla is described as a "bulky mountain", with a large plateau-type grassy summit known as Percy's Tablebounded on two sides by steep glacial corries called the "North Prison" looking into the Glen of Imaaland the "South Prison" looking into the glen of the River Ow. Lugnaquilla does not have a rocky summit or summit ridges, and its large massif is described as a "sprawling mountain moorland". Lugnaquilla is the highest mountain of A Guide to Irelands Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins Wicklow Mountains range, and the highest mountain in Ireland outside County Kerry. It is the nd—highest mountain, and 21st most prominent mountainin Britain and Ireland, on the Simms classification. The 15—kilometre 5—6 hour Glenmalure Loop is described as "the most scenic circuit to Lugnaquilla". The third, and least frequented route is the 16—kilometre 6-hour Aghavannagh Routewhich starts at the Aghavannagh Bridge T and walks the long forest tracks along the River Ow to the dramatic "South Prison" of Lugnaquilla, which is exited via the grassy—ramp of Green Street ; return via same route. The 12—kilometres of forest trails getting to the south prison, and then on the return to the bridge can be cycled instead. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Redirected from Fraughan Rock Glen.

A Guide to Irelands Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins following information about a research program may be of interest to readers. It was written by Alan Dawson a leading light in the bagging community in the neighbouring island and also a person deeply concerned with health. Hillwalking, driving and eyesight — research. Many of you will be aware of recent eyesight research being carried out in England. This programme is being extended to Scotland from 1st June. It is well known that healthy eyesight depends on switching vision from close-up to long-distance as often as possible, rather than staring at a screen all day. As millions of people have hardly left home for several weeks, their distance vision may have been adversely affected. The aim of this government- approved research is to answer several eyesight-related questions, such as:. Hill walkers are an important cohort for the programme as they are likely to go higher, and therefore see further, than most people. To take part in the research programme you do not need to formally register, but please report your results to this forum. As the UK has now left the European Union, all distances should be reported in miles, not modern French units. If you prefer to keep your findings confidential, email them to berp rhb. The results will be analysed and submitted to Sage Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies to help inform government guidance and practice on this important matter. If you think your vision may be impaired, it is important to drive to test it. Walking or cycling are insufficient as they allow more time to react to hazards such as pedestrians and traffic lights. Evidence from government investigations to date indicate that the best way to find out if you can drive safely is to A Guide to Irelands Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins. Note that eyesight research should be a solitary activity. It is important you do not get distracted from paying attention to vision and views. Go A Guide to Irelands Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins, go somewhere quiet, behave responsibly, obey all laws, steer clear of properties if you canpark considerately, do not speak to anyone while you are out, and keep your distance from anyone you see. Do not call in to any shops or hospitals while taking part in this research. That way the results will have greater scientific validity.

[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.

The group included no less than six new joiners, five of whom had survived ‘Try a Hike’! Starting at sea level, the group progressed merrily up on to the main road. We continued north east along the road for about 500m before crossing over and accessing a farm track which eventually led us through a stile and onto the walk proper. We began the steep and heathery ascent of Gearhane. Conditions were close to perfect with good visibility in the sunshine and for the first time in my memory of this mountain, practically no wind! We stopped at the ‘teapot’ (a rock in the shape of a teapot which was apparently empty!) and later on just past Gearhane, had lunch on some outcrops with a beautiful western vista. A whispered rumor of a trip down to Caherconree Fort was swept away on the cooling breeze before we reached the summit of Caherconree. Next we went up Baurtregaum, at 851m the highest peak of the Slieve Mish Mountains that rewarded the group with magnificent views out over Tralee Bay and south over Castlemaine Harbour.
