- TOUGHSOLES.IEUnion Wood Sligo Day HikesUnion Wood is a small forest that sits between the villages of Collooney, Ballysadare, and Ballygawley, with a mixture of old native woodland, and more recent active forestry. This place is teeming with wildlife - as well as walkers, cyclists, horse riders, and families. Let me take you on a tour OverviewDistance: theres a variety of trails, on this walk I specifically walked the Union Rock route of 5.5 kmTime: 1 - 3 hrs, depending on route, fitness, and how often you stop to take in the views. However, I quite liked how the info board at the main car park answered this question: Union wood is a place you can easily spend a half day in, so we wont tell you how long each trail takes. That will be up to you, your level of fitness, or how soon you want to go home. Parking:Car Park A: main car park (very limited phone coverage here)Car Park B: new second car parkCar Park C: Ballysadare entranceTrail difficulty: EasyAll the routes along this trail are way-marked. There is a mixture of gravel trail and raised wooden boardwalk. Read how we rate trails here.Trail quality: 3/5A lot of the trails here are old forestry tracks that have been converted walking trails. They are lovely to walk, but sometimes hard underfoot. Views: 4/5Within some of the spruce forest the views are limited, but for the most part the oak forestry is great and the views from the summit of the surrounding area are gorgeous. Buggy/Wheelchair friendly: PartialBuggies would be able to make their way through most of the lower trails, but there is no specific multi-access trail. Dogs allowed: Yes, this is a very popular area for dog walking.External links: Links to specific trail GPXs or info will be linked below with the relevant trails. Overall info includes:Sligo WalksCoillte overviewYeats Trail - Location 12 Routes:1. Union Rock Trail: 5.5km with red way-marking. This route takes you in a spiralling loop around Union Rock, with a spur off to the summit. Following the trail from the main carpark, youll head anti-clockwise around the hill, passing by some of the old oak forest. Once youve made it most of the way around the hill, you will come to a wide Y-junction. If you want to take the boardwalk to the summit, you will have to turn uphill. If you want to stick to the wide gravel tracks, continue downhill. The summit views are gorgeous, taking in Knocknarea and the Ox and Dartry Mountains. I will note - the boardwalk to the summit is often quite slippy as the west coast of Ireland is often quite wet. Boardwalks are as much to preserve the surrounding habitat as they are to make trails more accessible (in fact, more often than not it is conservation that is more important). So as you make your way to and from the summit, tread with care.External links:Explore this loop on Hiiker View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize 2. Oakwood Trail: The Oakwood Trail follows green way-marking around the lower hills of Union Wood. This looped route is 5km long and takes you through the areas designated as a Nature Reserve (thanks to its SAC status) and managed by the NPWS. This native woodland is the largest stand of oakwood that youll find in Sligo (and possibly the who north-west). The primary oak here is sessile oak, Irelands national tree. These trees are havens for biodiversity, and in these sections of the woods youll find pine martens, red squirrels, bats and jays, just to name a few. Its obvious as you pass from the nature reserve to other parts of the woods ,as the reserve is protected with tall deer-fencing to prevent overgrazing. Explore this loop on HiiKERNPWS Nature Reserve Info View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize 3. Ballygawley Lough Trail: This is one of the newer trails in union woods, marked with purple arrows around the lower trails. Depending on where you park, you may have to cross the main road. The whole trail is just over 4km long, and is designed with those of limited mobility in mind (not a fully fledged multi-access trail). This trail is the only one that connects to the large viewing points on the eastern shore of Ballygawley Lough where there are picnic tables. 4. Lough Loman / Mountain Access Trail: This is a 12km out-and-back route to Lough Loman, a lake hidden away up in the hills. Following the white way-marking on the infoboard maps, the route follows the Sligo Way west from the main car park, crossing the main road.Even before this became its own route, walking up to the lake was one of my favourite things to do here. All year round, Ive climbed this steep and twisting trail into the bigger hills beside Union Wood. Youll hear the screams of birds of prey echo in the hillside valleys, and once the climb is over the views south stretch out for miles out towards the flat midlands.

The Sligo Way (80km thru-hike)The Sligo Way is the local long distance / thru-hiking route. Leaving the main car park, its approx. 23km to Dromahair and 57km to Lough Talt. If youre looking for a linear day hike from here, Id recommend walking towards Dromahair (the same direction as the Lough Loman Trail above). After the lake, youll continue onto Slish Wood and the famous Lake Isle of Innisfree in Lough Gill.Our write-up of the Sligo WayThe Sligo Way on HiiKER History: This area was previously owned by the McDonagh family until it became part of the Cooper estate in the 17th century during the Cromwellian settlement. Like many estate lands of the time, much of it was planted for construction materials. Non-native species like Beech and Sycamore were planted along with the native Oak mentioned above. Now the land is managed by both Coillte and the NPWS (National Parks and Wildlife Service). In my video below, I muse over how areas like this might in future be focused exclusively on recreation and native restoration. Spaces like this have been managed for both conservation and timber production for decades, and this can sometimes feel in antithesis to each other. In the video I dont come to any clear answers - as there isnt one. But it is something I plan on spending quite a bit of time thinking about nonetheless. Videos of Union WoodDepending on your preferred pace, I now have a walking (2026) and running video (2022) from Union Wood.

The WORST Part of WINTER Van Life!Winter van life power is brutal with zero solar, this is how I survive off-grid! My NEW BOOK - How to Wild Camp in a ...0 Kommentare 0 Anteile 98 Ansichten - TOUGHSOLES.IEKnocknashee Sligo Day HikesOverview: Distance: 2km round tripElevation gain: 100mFormat: Out and backTime: 30 - 90 minsStart / End / Parking:There is minimal parking at the base of the hill, room for only 1 or 2 cars. Trail difficulty: EasyThere is a well built gravel trail from the base to the summit featuring a lot of steps. Across the summit to the cairn, there is a well worn grassy path that is lumpy due to the rocky nature of the land. While the terrain is all approachable, the initial climb up onto the summit plateau is very steep. Read about trail grading in Ireland here.Trail quality: 5/5This is well built and well maintained. Views: 5/5For a tiny, local trail, this is a really lovely walk. You have views out over the Ox Mountains, Knocknarea, and the Dartry Mountains of Benbulben and others. I particularly like this kind of a walk at sunrise or sunset.Buggy/Wheelchair friendly: NoDogs allowed: No - this route crosses farmland with livestock. When did I walk this route: February 2026External resources: SligoWalks.ieHeres this hill on HiiKER Knocknashee is a small hill in the middle of Sligo and the eastern edge of the Ox Mountains. This local walk highlights the great places you can find in your own back yard. Well over a year ago, I was searching for something on google maps and I came across the pin for the start of this walk. I quite litterly saved it to my to visit list, and ever since then this green little flag has been waving at me from just up the road. I felt like I was saving this walk for something - what exactly, I couldnt tell you. But last week, as the rain beat down and I listened to more reports of the wettest January on record, I decided that I was going to walk this trail the next dry afternoon I got. That day turned out to be Wednesday the 4th of February. After a day of meetings and messages in Sligo, I hit the back roads and wound my way towards the Ox Mountains. The land all around this area is pocked and bumpy, looking like a pebble-dashed wall. In reality, this is the marks from glaciation tens of thousand years ago across a limestone landscape, with the bumps reminding me of imperfect drumlins (learn more about sligo geography here).Knocknashee herself is very much like Knocknarea in shape, albeit the much smaller sister of the two. The name comes from the Irish Cnoc na S, the Hill of the Fairies - although which fairies no one seems to know. However, like many places that are attributed to the little men, it does have a connection to our ancient ancestors. The hill is home to one of Irelands largest Bronze Age hill forts, with the two large stone cairns on the summit potentially being the remains of two passage tombs. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize My time walking this short trail was a moment of solitude and a respite from the rain (if not wind, apologies for the audio quality in the video below). As I walked across the summit, I could tell that there were layers and layers of history below my feet - even from ground level, several of the grown-over stone circles were visible. Reaching the larger of the two cairns, I sat on the overturned trig point cast aside beside the stones. I avoid climbing on cairns that are clearly historical, and so I only stepped gingerly on a couple of the lower blocks of this one to peak over the lip towards the tomb entrance. Looking at the cleanliness of the roof stone, I wondered if the trig point had sat up there until sometime recently (from previous excursions, Id expect so). Nonetheless, I left the stones and the dead to themselves, and instead hunkered down out of the wind to admire the view of the Ox mountains once more, before heading back the way I had come. Screenshot from Apple Maps Satellite of Knocknashee plateau Once home that evening I looked at the satellite imagery of the hill, and was amazed at the very visible history you could see - I stopped counting just how many ancient circles I could see once I passed 20. If youre into your history then this hill might be worth the detour. Its a lovely walk where the local outdoor recreation scheme team have clearly developed the best trail this hill has to offer. Its not a walk youre going to find on any top ten lists or must-see visits, as its very simple and humble in its overall scope. But if youre passing and want a quiet moment, this is a nice spot to go.

- WWW.TREKANDMOUNTAIN.COMNew app launched to help finding mountain partners easierHave trouble finding suitable partners for trekking and mountaineering trips? A new app called MYMCO (My Mountain Company) aims to make finding partners much easier, and is available now on iOS and Android.How does it work? Well MYMCO connects people based on compatibility, shared skills and aspirations. Whats more, its free to use for now, while additional paid features will be available down the line,MYMCO say theyve done research that shows that 8 out of 10 people have experienced mismatched teams or faced dangerous situations because of their mountain partners, and theyve developed the app to provide safer, more reliable connections. The business was co-founded by record-breaking mountaineer Adriana Brownlee and entrepreneur ret Pea, and Pea says that the idea grew out of personal struggle.I come from one of the flattest countries in Europe, but my heart has always been in the mountains. What I didnt expect was how hard it would be to find the right people to climb with. Not just anyone whos free, but people who actually match you. Ive experienced last-minute cancellations, mismatched teams, even solo trips I hadnt planned on. And groups, social media? Half the time the replies started with Hey beautiful when all I wanted was a serious partner I could trust. Eventually I learned it wasnt just me this is a global problem.Mountaineer and MYMCO founder, ret PeaAdriana Brownlee, Co-Founder of MYMCO and the youngest woman to summit all 148000m peaks, adds:When ret first told me about MYMCO, I felt excitement, passion, and something powerful. In mountaineering, the right partner or team can make or break an expedition, yet most of us are still relying on random Facebook posts, groups or trip boards. I knew straight away I wanted to be part of this and help reshape how our community connects. The first thing I said after our meeting in London was: When do we start? And now, here we are, launching the app.MYMOCO athlete (and friend of Trek & Mountain), Jon GuptaJon Gupta, IFMGA Mountain Guide and MYMCO athlete, adds perspective:Climbing culture has shifted dramatically. What was once the dirtbag lifestyle has become mainstream, even trendy. Indoor gyms and bouldering walls have opened the sport to more people, but with that accessibility comes a challenge: confidence without the same depth of experience. Confidence and motivation cant replace experience and skill, which is why trust and transparency matter more than ever.Who I climb with is super important to me. When I think back on my best experiences in the mountains its always about who I shared it with, not necessarily what we did.MYMCO has initially launched with a mountaineering bias, but the company says that hiking, climbing, ski touring and other outdoor disciplines will soon be added.More info at: www.mymcoapp.com0 Kommentare 0 Anteile 375 Ansichten
