From the car park the walker should seek out the gate that leads onto the mountain side.  A long steep climb leads to the ridge.  Skeltia is indeterminately marked on the flat plateau and care should be exercised when descending the Maumtrasna Ridge.  Once in the valley the bog roads are easy to follow using map and waymarkers. 

The intrepid climber who wants a challenge can proceed to Maumtrasna Mountain, again hardly distinguishable from it's plateau like surrounds.  From here an arduous and very challenging descent may be made into the valley of the Srahnalong River and back to the road system.  This part of the walk is only for the experienced and well attired walker and should not be attempted without some knowledge of scrambling techniques.
