Took a wee jaunt into the Sperrins .They are on my back door \u00a0and I should be using them more often<\/p>\n

Map Used \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Sperrins \u00a0Activity Map 1:25,000<\/p>\n

Route Shape \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Circular<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This route covers quite a lot of open mountain with some steep sections and it is advisable to have \u00a0eperience.As always appropriate clothing should be worn .Waterproofs and boots are essential as the terrain is mixture \u00a0and is wet under foot in a lot of places.<\/p>\n

\"Track\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking up from Bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n

We parked the car at Glendera Bridge and headed up the forest path towards the Summit. You will come to a junction GR 94993 take the right turn \u00a0and approx 100 m \u00a0a clearing appears to you left \u00a0. This is the start of the ascent acoss open mountain . It is wet under foot and I would recommend good boots and gaiters .<\/p>\n

\"Looking<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking back you can see some of the spectacular views this walk gives you . In the far distance is Bineneveagh \u00a0and the nearer mountain range is Benbradagh. Continue to the summit which is where the fence lines meet and a old Londondery Corporation \u00a0headstone is visible. Navigation is quite easy from now on as you follow the fence line to Oughtmore (569m).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you continue towards Oughtmore the walk becomes quite steep ther are quite a lot of Peat banks and bog pools so take caution.The walk towards Spelhoagh (568m) is realtively flat . Once on Spelhoagh head down towards the furthest corner off the forest and follow the tree line \u00a0keeping it to your left from here you will see your start point .<\/p>\n
