bogtrotter: Track 1454 in area near Binn Bhán or Maolán, Twelve Bens (Ireland)
Circuit of the Glencorbet Valley
Length: 14.9km, Creator time taken: 6h47m, Ascent: 1323m,

Places: Start at L79625 57345, Binn Bhán, Benbrack, Muckanaght, Binn Fraoigh, Binn Bhán, end at Start

Easy ridge walk to wee Benbaun, then Benbrack, followed by a very steep climb (some scrambling) to Muckanaght. After the steep decent to the col, a relatively easy climb of Benfree and Benbaun. Care needed on the decent (boulder fields) to Glencorbet. Muckanaght can be avoided by picking a route from the col below Benbrack to the col between Muckanaght and Benfree.
