With Geoff, Alan, Margaret, Gertrude, Brian, Marie , Damien, Martin, Sean, Fergus. Couldn't leave a car by the farm. Left one car by the road and drove the rest to the start by the forest approx 845499. Into forest, west up ridge into Bencorr. Steep grass with rocks the less steep and more of a rocky ridge. Descending to Maumina important to keep left and go to higher col first Mix of weather. Brilliant day and route. Thanks Alan!

Alternative with one car would be Bencorr and Derryclare. (Book suggests clockwise but maybe better anti-clockwise so steepest ground is on the ascent?) or round of Geleninaa over Bencorrbeg?? Could be very boggy?
