Start Point: Faha Carpark @ O.S. Map
A shorter route than the traditional walk to Mount Brandon along the Faha Ridge due to
erosion which has made it unsafe for a Club walk. We still experience the thrill of some easy
scrambling and a bit of ‘exposure’ with steep drops on either side.
This is a route for experienced walkers only with a head for heights.
Starting at the Faha carpark we pass the Grotto and follow the well worn path as far as the
seat which is a memorial to a plane crash during the Second World War.
Branching off the track at this point there is a steep climb up onto the ridge where the fun
begins.
On reaching the end of the ridge we return following the route out.
