Itinerary description

We left Ballycastle by The Diamond and walked through Ballycastle Forest via a good unsealed road climbing steadily. Eventually, the road terminates. From there an almost indiscernible boggy path up to the trig point on the summit. Luckily, by the time we submitted, the weather cleared and we got great 360° views albeit in a gale force wind.

My phone battery died so the easy to follow path back to Ballycastle is incomplete
