Summary
A very pleasant route to Lugnaquilla summit and an 'up close' visit to Kelly's Lough.
Length km: 18  Climb m: 730    Duration hrs: 6 hours and 15 mins

Description 

Walk starts at the Drumgoff Recreation Area carpark on the Military Road. Goes along the Wicklow Way for a few minutes and proceeds on boardwalk through the Parish Turf Bog. We leave the forest out onto open ground and up to Carraystick Mountain, on to Kelly's Mountain via the 1992 Air Crash site. From here we follow the track to Lugnaquilla summit. We reverse back along the same track to Lough Gap and the descend over rough ground to Kelly's Lough. We pick up a track back to the forest and follow forest tracks back to the carpark.
