SAFETY NOTE
The classic loop route to Lugnaquilla that starts at the Glen of Imaal crosses the Glen of Imaal firing range in two places known as Route 1 and Route 2. Do not continue if you see red flags or flashing red lights anywhere. Plan ahead by checking the Irish Defence Forces website for the schedule:
military.ie/en/public-information/glen-of-imaal-walking-route-closures
You can also call the Army Information range at the Glen of Imaal on 045-404653.
Also do not stray from the designated path in view of any unexploded ordnance that may be laying about.
...apart from that enjoy your hike!

Fantastic trek, give yourself about six hours. Bring food and lots of water , we hiked on warm day but still cool at the summit. Good boots essential as very rugged terrain, well worth the effort

Did Lugnaquillia and Corrigasleggaun as part of my quest to do all the Irish Hewitts. Had a great long day on here but in quite good weather. Anything dry is good in Ireland. This is quite a remote hike so come prepared. Now for some Guinness!
