"Hungry Hill
Caha Mountains
Adrigole, Beara Peninsula, Cork, Ireland
With a height of 685 metres (2,247 ft) it is the highest peak of the Caha Mountains and the 130th highest in Ireland. Hungry Hill lies on the border of counties Cork and Kerry, although the peak is on the Cork side.
There is a cairn at the summit and a number of standing stones to the south and east of the mountain. At its eastern foot are two lakes — Coomadayallig and Coomarkane — which both drain into the Mare's Tail waterfall. This is the highest waterfall in Ireland and the UK" — Consider-The-End • Jun 12, 2022
"After Taking nearly an hour's drive , I Came to an old boggy , holey road & Approached it from the Rear side of the mountain .I Drove past 2 farms with people gawking at me probably saying where the hell is he going . I wanted to make this a hike more of a challenge anyway and that's exactly what I got . After Climbing 2 fences I Came to the base of Mount Musheramore . I then crossed through a field of sheep to get to what seemed the end of a stream but turned out to be a waterfall / small river . So i thought Just keep going up . Got high winds and hail near the top a little battle that added to the experience . Good Hike , But ill do it on the opposite side the next time as its a lot easier .

"From the Priest's Leap pass (463m). Drove the mountain road up to the col from Coomhola Bridge to the south - not too bad if you don't meet another vehicle. Road up from the north more challenging. Parked at the col. Followed the standard route east by the fence, then north onto Pt. 561m. Then east past Lough Reagh and north-east up to the summit. Returned the same way. Quite boggy. Solo.
Cloudy, with some sunny patches. Mild, but a strong westerly wind.
Ravens, choughs, wheatears and a skylark." — marktrengove2 • Jul 18, 2019
