Originally Heading in the wrong direction , i came across a few people walking by , who pointed out i heading the opposite way as there are many mountains in the vicinty . Finally with the directions gained i started off my hike Torc mountain base was a good 20-30 minute walk from the car park . I finally found the famous boardwalks and started my ascent . An absolutely beautiful hike , unbelievable views & well maintained pathway from bottom to summit .
