Updated Summary:
Steepish approach to relatively easy Carn.
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  29 Apr 2024
Binbane and Binbane NE can be reach relatively easily from a forest entrance just off the Bluestack Way. Take the minor road north just off the R262 and follow it until you reach a gate, which you can drive through (closing gate behind you.) 50m further on there is parking for multiple cars at a forest entrance at G84475 86189 starA. Take the forest track to the NW, which meanders up through the wood for about 500m (boggy in places) and disappears at the edge of the woods, where you will see a fence and the open hillside. Cross this and proceed NNW up the grassy slope, the gradient becoming increasingly steep. Around G84077 86923 starB swing to a more westerly direction across tussocky grass, to reach the fairly will defined summit, topped by a trig with a metal pole in it. About 1.25 hours to summit.
