Re Climbing Benbulbin
Looking at our online map, two routes suggest themselves as worth trying:
a. track 1421 from the NE, a long way round but probably not a contentious one.
b. from Kings Mountain. I was on Kings in 2010 and explored some of the remarkable features nearby which are well worth visiting in their own right. It would be perhaps a 6 or 7km dogleg to include Benbulbin.
As always ask permission if you see anyone to consult and be prepared to react to the circumstances. |

Eamonoc's directions are spot on on but there is an obvious track made by a tractor so following this will also take you close to the summit. It's a lovely little walk but very obviously on farmla... |

There are quicker ways to bag Camaderry but this route is more of a day hike exploring the area. Starting at the Glendalough Youth Hostel, a great place to stay if exploring the area as from here ... |
