There is loads of room, but it's quite flat so very exposed right at the top (no wall to pitch beside), there is a couple of dips in the ground and the rocks towards the Ben Cromb Reservoir side of the summit, where I bivvyed, but that gets the wind from up the valley (doubling pegging advised). Ground is quite soft.
Some more substantial shelter and room to be had at the side of Cove facing Lamagan where the peat hags are much bigger (saw a couple of tents set up there when I did it).

Cove gives (on a clear day) cracker views of Donard, Brandy Pad to Hare's Gap, Ben Cromb Reservoir, Doan. Setting sun goes down from Carn/Lough Shannagh direction, rising sun comes from Donard Direction. All good.

cheers Chuck, thats good info. I see you where camping up trassey at the weekend, where did you pitch? the grassy area just before the climb up to hares gap beside the river?
