Executive summary by darmansjah
From the north side, it looks like a table mountain, from
the other sides, it merges with the neighboring hills forming a single entity. Climbing
up, the landscape changes, the bare peaks give the impression of a different,
alien world. The ubiquitous peat bogs, collapsing and creating all sorts of
shapes, pits and grooves in the ground, emphasize this feeling even more.
While climbing Benbulben, you have to be prepared for
changeable weather conditions. Heavy showers interspersed with sunny spells may
occur several times within one hour, not to mention unceasing winds. Sometimes
you can observe helicopters flying below the level of the mountain over the
neighboring woods.
Although Benbulben is the biggest and most distinctive
object in the Sligo area, the whole Dartry mountain range is worth visiting. Not
far from Benbulben, while coming back to Sligo, if you follow the road
alongside the mountain, you will reach the Glencar Lake and Glencar Waterfall.
