    I'll be visiting friends up in Roscrea and thought of taking in a climb whilst in the area on my two consecutive days off this coming week.

    Was looking at either the Devils' Bit or else more preferably, Keeper Hill. If anyone with experience of either or both would like to share some advice, it would be welcome.

    Many Thanks in advance,

    Look up mountainviews.ie for routes etc.

    Keeper Hill isn't the most attractive summit, all forestry roads on way up and communications masts at the top. The nearby Silvermines are nice though, you can bag a few quite quickly.

    Thanks. Was hoping to clock a few this coming week alright.

    Yeah I found that site and registered (I see we're both online there right now). Will go view what others have submitted on there and have a ponder :)

    Cheers again.

    Head to Portroe

    Very scenic as it overlooks Lough Derg, plently of hills and you can climb up to Graves of the Leinstermen and the slate quarries above the village.

    Nenagh Wheelers are out and about in the area constantly, when they want hills they come to Portroe

    Ah sweet! I cycled around Lough Derg late last year as part of a personal cycling challenge, would be nice to re-visit the area on another capacity.

    Will look into this too.

    Thanks! :)
