Onzy: Track 2432 in area near Binnasruell, Bluestack Mountains (Ireland)
Southern Bluestacks Circuit
Length: 12.9km, Creator time taken: 4h27m, Ascent: 673m,
Descent: 674m

Places: Start at G89657 88483, Binnasruell, An Leamhaigh Mhór, An Leamhaigh Bheag, Cruach an Airgid, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1

Circular route taking in Binnasruel, Lavagh More, Lavagh Beg and Silver Hill. Route follows Colin Murphy's description outlined on the various hill pages, but omits Cullaghacro.

My route takes a more direct line down, however, I am not sure I could recommend this; I encountered some very steep ground which in the wet was treacherous - better to stick to the line up.
