 | Comments: |
Great trail conditions made for nice hike of Carrigain. Never minded my head in the clouds either. Barebooted until approx 2600 feet then micros on a fairly consistent solid icy/snowy track. some interesting sidehilling just before breaking out onto the ridge. Mashed potatoes on either side of track. i took 3 older sections of trail one of which has three smaller water crossings which were no issue at all. I met no one on the trail today. |
