I spent a thoroughly enjoyable August day (2003) in the company of my wife's brother in law and our four teenage children ascending Derryclare, walking along the ridge to BenCorr and finally coming down off BenCorrBeg. A comic prelude was the fact that we spent the "night before" in flimsy tents in the forest at Derryclare's base. The early part of the evening involved all six of us being feasted upon by midges...to the point where we lit a fire, piled on green grass, and stood in the smoke. Our tent seemed to float on a mossy bed and I lay awake all night long, damp and uncomfortable. I learned that my eldest son snores in the normal way while his brother does so from his derriere! It was a great relief to get up and begin the climb. Unfortunately, the cousins were made up of hares and tortoises and it was difficult to kept the platoon together. But the views from Derryclare were stunning and peace broke out and we relished the ridge walking, and the moonscape vistas. A WORD OF WARNING !! We were badly caught out on the descent of BenCorrBeg. We found ourselves half way down a very steep aspect with what looked like a cliff below us. We eventually managed to move across to a safer slope and I was greatly relieved to get all down safely. I really thought we were in serious difficulties. We had checked out our proposed descent the evening before but that didn't save us. I have always believed that "coming down" is far more dangerous than "going up". Take care folks.
