Take-off description
Walk up to take off via the track to the windfarm. there is an older track a little closer to the take off.
Getting there
Follow the road from Ballyvourney southwest for 12km to the track up the hill. This road passes through Coolea village and over the infamous highest pub in Ireland at the 'Top of Coom'. The pub has since burned down and only the concrete floor remains. OR if travelling from the Kenmare Kilgarvan road, turn off the road eastwards at Morleys bridge... continue for 6km to the junction below the hill.
