Ascent of Slieveard on 2011-04-19| Date: | Tuesday, April 19, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Slieveard | | Location: | UK-Northern Ireland | | Elevation: | 134 m / 440 ft |
Ascent Trip ReportSeveral sources give the name of this hill as "Slieveard", however, the OSNI 1:50k map merely denotes the general area as "Kilpatrick" (which is a family name). Easy ascent starting at a stile beside the road at grid ref D137512. Due north across open country to the top which is either the base of a decommissioned wind turbine or one of several nearby heather-covered bumps. No public paths on Rathlin except those created by the National Trust & RSPB. Local resident wouldn't allow us to use the more obvious track to the summit from the southwest despite polite request.
