Once I had my dinner eaten after school, Dad and I were in the car with our walking gear headed for two (semi) local High Points; Mullaghanish & Musheramore. As we were coming to the end of round 1 of the All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships, we had already visited all the our local Sport Hillwalking Locations, so these 2 were the closest that we could complete in an evening. Mind you, it still took 1hr 20mins to get to Mullaghanish!
Luckily for us, the gates to the mast road were open so we were able to drive to the top; an easy 9 points!
Next up was the short but steep Musheramore. We brought wellies with us as this is usually quite muddy! It was a brilliant evening with the sun’s golden rays shining on our backs but even with the wellies, we still had to watch our step as we climbed.
After logging on Peakhunter, we slowly descended, being careful not to submerge ourselves in the bog or slip into a slide down the mud.
Luckily, after avoiding a few close calls, we made it back to the car just as the sun was setting on the horizon.
