The
first walk is from Marley Park
up to the ridge
on Two Rock Mountain.
The second walk
is in the opposite direction
from the “car park”
on
the Pine Forest Road
to the ridge, and finally
down to Boranaraltry
Bridge
to complete the route.
|
|
This
is a hard strenuous walk with a duration of about 3 hours and a climb
of 400 metres to gain the ridge.
Please
note I am relying on my memory (bad idea) for the time durations of
the walks and Google Map for the elevations (and spall-check for the
spelling).

The
crane is a real bird which agreed to pose for the camera.

|

In
looking at the photo of the crane I was reminded of an event that
took place right before my eyes many years ago. I was driving home
from work in rush hour traffic. I was close to Merrion Gates on the
Merrion Road. Suddenly for no apparent reason the traffic on both
sides of the road abruptly stopped. Puzzled I looked for a reason and
into my view can a duck crossing the road with her ducklings. Each in
turn mounted the pavement with one colossal leap and disappeared
through the railings. The traffic started again and life returned to
it's hectic pace.

For
those who are wondering about the Fairy Castle on the map, it is a
pre-historic mound. Notice that the Ordinance Survey people are not
frightened by the little green men nor are the hikers who deposit
stones upon reaching the top.
|
The
second “stone” that the mountain is named from is
natural.
