"After two unsuccesful attempts I finally climbed Lugnaquilla in November 2018. The previous attempts had failed due to bad weather. I started my linear walk from the Baravore Car Park and climbed Lugnaquilla from the North. The walk was roughly 13 km with 950 metres of ascent." — hannahaapio • Nov 18, 2018

"Solo. From road end at Baravore in Glenmalure. Up through forest on path and track to Fraughan Rock Glen. Continued on path that climbs steeply up out of the glen. Up ridge of Cinnow to Summit of Lugnaquilla. Very misty high up. Returned same way. This ascent is almost 50 years after my first ascent of Lugnaquilla and completes my second round of the Irish 3000 footers.
