How exciting. Anyone local know of a name? Errigal Mountain

Errigal Moraines

Some interesting contour detail on the back or north side of Errigal mountain in Donegal. The 5 metre contour interval brings out the humps and hollows typical of this sort of terrain. Deposited presumably as the last period of glaciation came to an end, with the ice melting and retreating, depositing mounds of stone. It’ll be interesting to see if there is a local name for this area, it surely has or had a name.

Bluestacks

Our valued & patient Donegal customers will be glad to hear that I’ve started out on two new maps for parts of Donegal. These are planned to be printed on B1 size Polyart paper, similar to our Cooley & Di**le Way maps of 2023.

I’m currently working on the sheet that will cover the Bluestack range just north of Donegal town. The outline map here shows the extent of the mapped area for digital purposes, the actual printed area will be slightly smaller. All the main peaks & approaches of these hills will be shown.

The Bluestacks is a translation of the Irish Na Cruacha Gorma, the blueish stacks or reeks. Though I believe locally they are often simply called The Cros said as ‘crows’. But we’ll find out more of that in due course.

The second sheet will cover the Derryveagh range and north to Muckish of which more detail in due course.

I have no idea of publication dates at this stage so there’s no point in asking! But if you wish drop me a line via email to [email protected] and I can add you to our mail list for notifications of progress and publication etc.
