mneary34 on Letterbreckaun NE Top
by mneary34
6 Jan 2005
Heading for the gap at Maumturk/Holy Well from Binn Bhriocain (Letterbreckaun) the ideal route is to head for the col close to Binn Bhriocain-NE Top. From Binn Bhriocain-NE Top the ridge descends in a north/north westerly direction heading for the gap. Clear navigation and route finding particularly in misty conditions is required as there is steep ground in the vicinity and a lack of defined features on the ground.

I came to Binn Bhriocáin NE Top from the main summit itself. On the way you'll come across this little pond, with great views over towards Killary. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/264/comment/6112/

Gowlaun - The Northern Turks
by aburden
28 Feb 2011
Binn Bhriocain NE top can be seen as the 'pointy' top to the right of the photo. As you descend from Letterbreckaun to the Holy Well you - should - pass several ( freshly re-stacked ) cairns that lead you onto grassy bog and onto the small cairn the walker shown is arriving at. From here, a bearing of circa. NNE will get you to the Well in time for the steep onward climb to Maumturkmore. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/264/comment/6254/
