I parked at the National Trust carpark, then along various clearly marked trails. First to Black Mountain South, which is a slight diversion off the path and over a new barbed wire fence. then over to Black Mountain North, then over to Divis. some amazing views from here, weather was the best i have ever seen in Belfast! Pillar seen some action with missing FB and damage around the spider.

Logged while visiting to attend a wedding took the 106 bus from the europa bus station to the Upper Springfield Road. Alighting at the Hairpin bends bus stop walked back to Divis Road then North to the car park where the path starts up to the radio station. Turn onto the path up to the Trig which is damaged with the bracket missing but great views of Belfast.

An unexpected opportunity - loaned some wheels whilst working in Antrim so came up here on a long Irish summer's evening - weather ranging from brilliant sunshine through heavy showers with a howling gale! But the moderate effort to get here repaid many times over with superb views - Belfast in sunshine framed by a complete rainbow; Mournes; Ards peninsula; Strangford Loch; Larne and the coast north of it; possibly the north coast and definitely Scotland. The only sadness was the state of the trig - large chunks out of top and sides; spider still in place (just) but FB hacked out - vandals....

Elevation: 403 metres. Trig point in poor condition. Flush bracket missing. Quite badly vandalised. The spider is almost completely exposed. The strap-down U fixings are mostly missing. Lots of bump damage to the top of the pillar. The facings are weather worn but mostly ok. Excellent 360° from here over Belfast. Views to Strangford Lough, the Copeland Islands, the Mournes and Slemish.

The spider. Very much exposed. At least the screw cap is in place.
The pillar. The flush bracket is missing.
The pillar. The Divis transmitters in the background. The smaller one is currently being built.
Belfast City and Belfast Lough. Kilroot, Bangor and the Copeland Islands can also be seen. With Binoculars it may also be possible to see Scotland.
