	Maumturks Sionnach 2004 - De La Salle Scout Group Expeditions Series
		The team from the 7th on the Maumturks Sionnach from L-R Ian Grant, Michael Kavanagh, Barry Kelly, Eoin Kelly and Colm Ennis.
		There was a great view of Connemara from the top and as well as a great view of the Twelve Bens and the rest of the Maumturks we could also lakes, rivers, ponds and puddles all over the place.
		The Sionnach staff tried to educate us on the weather for a while and an examination of the clouds led us to guess that it would remain fine for all of about 30 minutes (we were fairly close).

	Travel \| Heaven on the rocks
		Beneath the southern flank of the Maumturk Mountains in Connemara stands a tiny church that is said to mark the westernmost point of the journeys of St Patrick in the 5th century.
		From the lough, you can drop steeply back to your starting point in the Inagh valley, or climb to the crest again and continue to a second holy well at the northern end of the range.
		Connemara is possibly the wildest and most isolated part of Ireland, with more than 50 mountains in four tightly-packed ranges: the Maumturks, the Twelve Bens, the Partry and the Sheffrey.

	Funtrek West Ireland- 1-877-FUNTREK
		To the south of Killary, in County Galway, are the Twelve Bens and Maumturks ranges.
		The Bens are bare rocky mountains, rising only to 600 or 700 metres, but impressive because they rise directly from sea level and every metre has to be climbed on foot.
		North of Killary in County Mayo, there is an abrupt change to sandstone mountains with rounded ridges edged by dark, rocky cirques.

	The Maumturk Mountains over Derreen, Co. Galway - Peter Cox, Irish Landscape Photographer
		This view of the Maumturk ridge is from the east, looking over the Derreen ridge.
		This is also my favourite view of the Maumturk ridge, showing its true character.
		The view from the west, from the Inagh Valley and the 12 Bens shows an orderly row of pyramids, whereas in the eastern view you can see the torturous nature of the ridge with its numerous corries.

	North Atlantic Skyline
		Photographs of Galway predominate (because that's where I live), but you'll find plenty of pictures of Mayo and Clare (mainly pictures of the Burren) as well.
		There's plenty of pictures taken on the top of most mountains in Connemara; mainly the Maumturks, the Twelve Bens and Mweelrea.
		The advantage of my hikes with the Galway Walking Club is that I get to visit some very photographic locations - the disadvantage is that I can't persuade my fellow club members to lug some of my camera gear for me.

	'The West in Winter' by Declan Weir - connemara.net - Connemara Ireland
		After a sweaty clamber to the top of the hill, you can look west beyond Doon Hill to make out the lighthouse at Slyne Head.
		Eastward and inland, the Twelve Bens and Maumturks stretch into the distance, the incongruous radio masts paling into insignificance, almost apologising to their mountainous neighbours.
		The only sounds you hear are your own breathing and the clicking of the camera.

		The Lug Walk and the Ring of Imaal are biennial events and the Maumturks is occasionally not held.
		Size is not such an issue for the smaller walks but for the organizers of the Lug, the Maumturks and the Glover it is a major challenge.
		Greater mobility, more knowledge about the walks, better mapping, increased disposable income combined with the demand for a recognized challenge and the knowledge that the ‘craic’ can be mighty after the walks are amongst the factors that have caused an increase in numbers.

		Ireland, they are demanding, even for the most fit and experienced walkers, and in bad weather can prove quite a challenge to navigation.
		The most popular mountains in this region are the Twelve Bens, the Maumturks and the Mweelrea Horseshoe.
		Cliff faces, scree slopes, and large boulders are features of these ranges, and will make lasting impressions and leave you with wonderful memories of your trekking here.

	Trip Reports
		Our main focus for the week was to be walking in the Twelve Bens and Maumturk mountain ranges in the wilds of Connemara.
		We took bikes along but the main aim for most was to walk those of the Twelve Bens and Maumturks which poor weather had forced us to omit in 2003.
		With bright sunshine the whole day, and the whole of the Bens and Maumturks clearly visible – plus many further beyond, including the Mweelrea and Sheeffry hills to the north and fine views out to sea – this day alone really made the whole holiday worthwhile.

	Hiking/Trekking in Clifden - Wild Winds, Rough Going, No Blarney: Ireland's Connemara
		Driving up the Inagh Valley is not the most efficient way to cover the 40 westerly miles from Galway to Clifden, but it's my favorite approach, cutting spectacularly through Connemara's stony heart.
		To the east lie the Maumturk Mountains, a fine, flat-summited range, but I always find myself looking west, up into the purplish brown, distinct peaks of the Twelve Bens, mirrored by the narrow boomerang-shaped Lough Inagh.
		You can bone up on turf ecology at the visitors center (learning, for instance, that peat is actually densely compacted sphagnum moss on its aeon-consuming way to becoming coal), then embark on a short nature walk, or farther south, up into the Bens themselves.

	Mountain Views: Bunnacunneen in area Partry/Joyce Country
		mreeyore(04-05-06 22:27): Bunnacunneen is a rarely climbed mountain in comparison to the nearby Maumturks.
		There are quite a few fences to be encountered along the way and most of this land is farmed so you may want to check in with the farm at the southern base of the mountain.
		The views from the top are worth a mention as you get an excellent view of all the Maumturks aswell as views down Lough NaFooey and across to Devil's Mother.

		Within two minutes we had left the R336 and turned right along a sparesly populated road into the heart of the Maumturks.
		The sense of adventure heightened as we passed through a gate onto a rough and rocky track which headed deep into the Maumturks and some spectacular scenery.
		Killary fjord is a 10 mile long drowned river valley running between the Mweelrea and Sheeffrey mountains to the north and the Maumturks to the south.
