Passing by Mount Leinster East Top, with Mount Leinster in view...
The long descent from Mount Leinster to Scullogue Gap by-passes Knockroe (centre), and then begins the long haul up Blackstairs Mountain (centre-left in the background)...
Looking back over Knockroe as we start ascending Blackstairs Mountain...
Once on top of Blackstairs Mountain, most of the ascent is done, but only about half of the distance has been covered...
The long descent down Blackstairs Mountain begins. Next checkpoint: Carrigalachan Gap, where hot drinks and cake await...

NOTE: ALL information such as Ascent, Length and Creator time taken etc should be regarded as approximate. The creator's comments are opinions and may not be accurate or still correct.
Your time to complete will depend on your speed plus break time and your mode of transport. For walkers: Naismith's rule, an approximate though often inaccurate estimate, suggests a time of 9h 20m + time stopped for breaks
NOTE: It is up to you to ensure that your route is appropriate for you and your party to follow bearing in mind all factors such as safety, weather conditions, experience and access permission.
