Galtymore to Cush Mountain Loop

Challenging trail but absolutely worth it for the views. Definitely would need boots and gaiters in bad weather. We were lucky to get a stunning day

Only went up Galtybeg and then up Galtymore. Nice footpath along the beginning that then turns to wet bog land, eventually returning to a path again up the mountain. lovely scenery on a clear day, with lots of sheep around.

Easy to follow path and fairly steep in places, very enjoyable walk.
