Comments
As of JULY 2015 flying here is no longer allowed until suitable arrangements are made with the local landowners for access to the hill. This is a low site at the foot of the the much higher Macgillycuddy's Reeks mountains just behind it. This site has rarely been flown. This site has good potential to unlock flying in the bigger mountains. As of 2013 there is NO PERMISSION to bring any vehicles up the track or onto the land. Walking up the track/road is permitted. All gates are LOCKED.
