Ivor from Down

On Tuesday 20 June I did half of this route, i.e. Commeen to Fintown ‘clockwise’. [To fit in with overnight accommodation, I took a taxi from Stranorlar to Commeen, and got the McGeehan’s bus from Fintown to Glenties.] The weather turned out to be exceptionally good, so I saw this impressive landscape at its finest.



I was walking for seven hours altogether – it took me two full hours to cover the (mostly pathless) off-road section west of Croveenananta, between the Reelan River and the R253. (The terrain here is clumps of heather, and bog; after the initial ascent, the route goes up and down several times before eventually descending to the road.) The extensive views West and North compensated for the slow progress on this section.



Other highlights of this walk were the off-road section towards the Reelan River, and great views of Lough Muck and Lough Finn.



Way-marking is excellent throughout.
