This walk which begins at the parking spots in Glens at the beginning of ‘Siúlóid na Ghleanna’, bringing us along the forested path and up the zig zags on our way towards the fence skirting Mullach Bhéal and the well walked trail towards An Ghéarán.
From here there is a steady incline which brings us to our first peak of the day ‘Garrán Ceoil’ (840m) which overlooks Loch Cruite from which we begin a short enjoyable descent to our second peak of the day ‘Brandon Peak’ (790m) and finally along a lovely path east where we meet a beautifully constructed stone wall and begin an easy ascent to our final peak of the day ‘Mount Brandon (952m).
We conclude with a descent along the pilgrims path to Baile Breac.
