PHOTOSHOOT - TRUSKMORE MOUNTAIN

As agreed at this month's club meeting the photoshoot on the summit of Truskmore Mountain will take place tomorrow evening, Sunday 22 June 2014.
For those who missed the meeting - do not worry, we are not going to have to walk up the mountain, as there is a road that we can drive up in our cars.

This is the highest point in both County Sligo and Leitrim, so hopefully there will be some good views to photograph.

DIRECTIONS

The start point for the drive is in the road known as the Gleniff Horseshoe, and is the gated entrance to the RTE access road to their masts on the summit of Truskmore. This is only a few miles from Ballintrillick and the Benwisken Centre.

In-car satnav coordinates for the access gate are (a) N 54deg 22min 10.03sec; W 8deg 23min 41.13sec or (b) N54.369453; W8.394758

Please arrive by 7:00pm. Once we pass through the gates we must lock them behind us. So expect the gates to be locked by 7:30pm.

Although the forecast is for dry weather, be aware that it may be quite windy on top, so bring warm clothes with you. If you have a tripod bring this as well.

If you have any queries you can ring Marty on his mobile: 086 1068089.

Hoping to see as many of you as possible.
