Took the Pilgrim's Route up and down from the car park (€3) at IV 48123 82960. A good trail, with fine views. Solo.

Busy, for an Irish mountain.

A short shower on the ascent, otherwise cloud and sunny breaks. No view on the summit due to cloud-cap. Wind veered from west to north-west at 12:45, strengthening and getting colder.

Ravens, choughs, wheatears, stonechat.
