Ben aigan hike 23/3/23

Date walked: 23/03/2023

Time taken: 3 hours

Distance: 5.63km

Ascent: 471m

I Parked the car and went to the left towards the gate. I carried on upwards and around several bends, this Forrest road is Great.
Once I reached a road to the left I continued on the same road until I came to a bend where you go left up the fire break into the forest. Blink and you miss it like it did but I realised quickly and returned

Take walking poles as this section was very boggy. It was hard going im not going to lie. But bare with it , once you flatten out it's easier and you join a good forrest road again .
Continue left until you reach a fork take the track to the left until you reach another junction continue straight and follow the track .you have amazing views at this point when you look backwards. The track is stoney and slippy when wet so take care here.
It's a good wee trek up to the trigpoint it's worth the view once you reach the top....it can be very windy up here so wrap up warm...then follow the track to the left once your leave . Take care coming down too when wet. You will reach a junction continue straight until you reach another, you then turn left and follow for a good bit. You will see a big square where they have been digging with stones. Go down to the left hand side of this take care. Then your back on a forest road continue down this and it will join the track you came up. where I told you not to go this way at the start.
it's the nicest way to walk this route. Hope this is helpful ..ps.the photos may have gone on finish to start even though I put them on start to finish Roz 😁
