"From the car park to the northwest up the asphalt for a bit before a wooden post marks the path for the hill. One follows alongside a wall that takes you up to the first rise, which seems to be called Knockmoyle but possibly has too little prominence to be included here. From here it is mostly flat to the bottom of Cush itself, and then there is a steep climb direct to the top. The neighbouring higher peaks were mostly obscured by cloud, but thankfully the weather held for my walk. A sign at the bottom describes the mountain as made up of Silurian, grit and slate, with a thick red mudstone covering. All these things were evident. Plus sheep and peat. Down same way. I thought this walk would completely destroy me, but still life in these legs yet!" — vygodski • Sep 21, 2021

"Approaching this mountain from the south made for quite an amusing climb. The start is reasonably easy, with the biggest challenge finding ways across and around the patches of bog that have been churned to mud by numerous hikers. There is also an easily followed path all the way to the summit. What made this amusing is there are numerous fake summits because you cannot see the next highest point until you reach the one currently in view. A dozen times I was fooled into thinking I'd reached the top! Unfortunately on this trip visibility was extremely poor and the Galtee mountain range was completely hidden from view so I didn't stop at the top to take any pictures. My priority was just getting back to the car so I could get warm after spending a night on the side of Galty Beg. After reaching the summit I lost the path, so blazed a trail down the side of the mountain before picking up animal tracks that eventually lead me back to the well trodden track that would take me home. I definitely intend going back to the Galtees and doing the Galtymore Horseshoe, albeit in as near perfect weather as possible." — IDC • Sep 16, 2019
