Dingle to Cloghane
Hi all, need to get from Dingle to Cloghane without a car next week and had been thinking of hitching but then I thought.... sure why not just walk, over Mount Brandon, right?
Looking at the maps here, everything looks straightforward enough apart from the descent from Brandon to Cloghane.
I'd be a bit anxious about (though not totally against) descending the Faha Ridge towards the end of a long day, by myself, in January weather (whatever that might be). Though I've never been up there, and it might well be grand, and I don't particularly mind the exposure (any advice here would be appreciated). I've never been on Brandon generally, by the by (hence why I'm keen)
There don't seem to be many options for routes that aren't either long or steep — so just wondering if any one has any practical suggestions etc.Circling down to the north of Brandon peak via a place marked 'Piaras Mor' on the OS map seems to be one possible option.
Thanks!
