Gearhane (via Derrymore)

I've been meaning to do this walk for a long time. Everytime I drive in and out of Tralee I always glance up at the glen from Derrymore. I was originally heading for Baurtregaum but decided on a change of route as I'd never been on Gearhane before.

A few pics along the way. looks like a great place for a camp out some time!



Heres the Video of the route taken

Brandon and Dingle

Black sheep walk to Dingle

Day 1, Faha near Cloghane up Brandon Mountain along the ridge to Brandon Peak and Gearhane onto Ballysittergah and down to Dingle town, 1st stop Dick Mac's.

A fantastic day in the mountains





Day 2, Mas an Tiompain, Sauce Creek and onto Brandon Point and a couple of pints in Murphy's Bar.

Stradbally Beenoskee

Close to Castlegregory village are the two mountains Stradbally and Beenoskee.
Great walk yesterday. If you look at map belo walk starts at the Car park at bottom of woods (just opposite main road exit from castlegregory to stradbally village). 1st part of walk is up the forestry road to a base station, road ends here so you have to make your own way up the mountain as there is no clear path.
