Lovely scenic walk despite overcast day. Couple of slightly strenuous short climbs to get the heart pumping but generally a relaxed walk. Fab views of Lough Derg and surrounding rolling hills.

05.11.2016 was amazing sunny day! I wanted to take some pictures of autumn colours. I chose this trail and was not disappointed. Made it anti clockwise...the first climb was pretty harsh ( I am not fit :D ) but when I got my breath back, resting a bit...after that it was all downhill and amazing views along the way. Really nice walk ( for even untrained person ) and I got many beautiful photos. Very happy!
