I'm in Sligo with my family for the weekend, but I have permission to disappear for a couple of hours.

I've got my eyes on one of these:

Benbulbin (http://mountainviews.ie/summit/402/)

King's Mountain (http://mountainviews.ie/summit/573/)

Truskmore (http://mountainviews.ie/summit/201//)

Anyone any experience of walking down there and able to make a recommendation?

Didnt want to turn this page into a football thing but you have left me no choice.  Come on the Spurs, lets take 6 points of Liverpool this season.
