24th/25th June 2011 - Black Sheep are heading for Connemara to tackle the 12 Bens
We aim to do the twelve bens over the two days. Liam has provided a map showing the two proposed routes The route marked AA is about 12.5 km with a height gain of approximately 1,600m. The start and finish are 3 km apart which can be walked and provides a nice warm up. The route BB is 13.5 km with about 1,400m of height gain there is an option to make this into a circuit which would make it 16.5 km. These are just suggestions the routes can be shortened and peaks added or removed. ( I personally would like to ensure we do all twelve bens during the two days and include a bit of scrambling if we can )
