I reached Benbrack following the directions posted by Absalon (surely highlighting what this site is all about - giving walkers the heads up about an area they have possibly never visited before and allowing a better degree of planning). I followed the lane steeply uphill on broken tarmac and then over varied (usually wet) terrain towards the top of altnadarragh (496 m), annoyingly followed for a good part by a posse of bleating sheep and lambs.
Drop down SW and then climb to the summit of Benbrack over some pretty poor ground. There is a small cairn perched atop a large boulder above the steep E flank. The good weather i enjoyed earlier in the day on Benbeg and Cuilcaigh had gave way to a biting wind and lowering cloud base as i managed to find a semi dry spot to camp for the night. Next morning i headed W over the featureless summmit area and dropped down to the edge of extensive forest at 090213 C. There is a waymarked trail crossing the open moorland here which can be followed towrads Bencroy. Views here of the cliffs on the W flank. On the return from exploring Bencroy et al I went around the S side of Benbrack dropping down to through the forest to the road (again as described by Absalon) - this would also make an excellent entry point onto the hill. Met an old farmer in an even older tractor who started a conversation about fishing, mistaking my walking poles for a fishing rod. Great craic!
