First up benbulben in Sligo. This could be an amazing flying site if there was access. Have seen one photo apparently taken from the top and there looks to be a little road. Anybody have any info?? Know people in the area?? It has the look of the Bwlch in Wales.

If there is grass on top, that would be THE slope !!

More info please !!
Or fancy a trip to Sligo :?:

Some more photos for your viewing pleasure!
This one is apparently for the top looking at another hill in the distance. That looks like a road to me!

Was thinking of maybe a road trip next spring around Ireland. Flying and checking out various slopes. Maybe a long weekend!

Am reading about a lot of people walking/climbing but no mention of a road. There is mention of some rather unfriendly farmers though!
Maybe someone has a bit more info, we will see what we can find out?

Google Earth shows there may well be paths/roads up there.

From the south(ish)...

Bit closer to the west part of it...

Overhead shows paths...

And overhead from the other way shows paths going into the bit with poor definition.

Hey Ron. Yeah there does look like roads or maybe they are gullies where the water makes it's way down?

Can you upload you photos to the forum cause I can't see the last few pics you've posted. It asks me to login to coomkeen.com and the photos don't show up in the post.

Oops sorry.
Forgot I'd password protected the folder. :oops:
Should all be OK now.
