Hike: Dooish from Maumlack (Derryveagh Mountains)

5 Replies

What a day! A hard earned 11km climbing Dooish (651m) via Maumlack (480m) and returning via Dooish SW Top/Edenadooish (528m). We had every weather today with heavy rain showers and hail that turned to snow leaving Maumlack. Lots of sunshine between the occasional shower before more heavy rain and hail to finish.

Dooish is an Arderin and Dooish SW Top is an Arderin Beg. I’ve climbed both before but not from this side and Maumlack was a new summit for me.

      It was grim when it rained but most of the hail and snow was on our backs so manageable. We did have a lot of bright spells too. In some strange way the weather made the walk feel more rewarding….
