Ground Conditions on Lugnaquilla.
W/c28/04/25
Conditions underfoot are good for this time of year. However pay attention as you approach the plateau from the Fraughan Glen side at Red Scar (035 934)as there are still some extremely boggy patches in this area. Water levels in both the Fraughan Rock Brook and the Avonbeg river are moderate following a reasonably dry spring. If returning by Arts Lough be prepared for very wet ground. This means you will be crossing the river so remember to always take extreme caution when crossing any river no matter how small or low the water level.
If approaching from Camenabullogue conditions are now excellent underfoot.
Weather Update
Outlook for W/C28/04/25 is for a settled week with only very lightscattered outbreaks of light rain mainly affecting the Atlantic counties. Temperatures to be above normal for the week. 15-20 degrees. Towards the weekend however temperatures will return to more normal average of 13-16 degrees due to a northerly wind.
Enjoy the hills this week if you venture out and remember to stay safe , bring food , drinks , winter clothing including rain gear, map and compass. Do not forget your first Aid kit !
Change in Our Lugnaquilla route.
Due to the actions of a dog walker , the “zig zag” route up Lug has been closed by the Landowner.
Our descent from Lug when hiking from the Glenmalure side will now avoid this route and will take the path by Arts Lough and back down crossing the river to Baravore . We hope this situation will be resolved in the future. As the return route via Art’s Lough involves a river crossing, if water levels are high ,your guide may choose to return via an alternative route. At all times your Safety is our priority.
