Croghan Kinsella

Woodenbridge, County Wicklow

This map covers the forest and open mountain surrounding the summit of Croghan Kinsella, one of the most southerly peaks in the Wicklow mountains. It was first used for orienteering in 1987 and was used extensively up to the mid nineties. Extensive felling around this time made the area unusable for foot orienteering. It will take many years for the forest to fully recover but in the meantime will be used for club training and local events. It got a new lease of life in 2004 when it was remapped and used for a mountain bike orienteering Leinster league event.
