The
first day of autumn turned out to be the last day of summer so, after consulting with the dog who promptly lay down as if to say "no run today thanks" I biked to the forestry access to
Silsean and then climbed on foot barefoot (same route as before). I still get muddled up between Silsean and Moanbane but I think it was the former...
They have cut down and decimated the forest area so the mossy glens have disappeared - sad but there will be others to find elsewhere. But the climb to the top and the small lakes when you get there are much the same. There's a great sense of freedom when you are walking on the top of the world.
