Its an interesting and challenging walk across very varied terrain, seldom crossed in some areas, and with excellent views on a clear day. The walk starts and ends with the Knickeen Ogham Stone and avoids crossing the military range in the Glen of Imaal.

Climb along forest roads and boggy trails to the summit of Sugarloaf, then keep along the ridges to Logar, Lowbawn and drop along the falling ridgeline to the stone shelter at the Pinnacle. This is a good spot for a sheltered rest and refreshment.

Descend northward through the heather to find a lage gate in the deer fence. Through the gate, follow a trail northwest through the forest to join a forest road. Follow the road for 750m, before climbing steeply through the forest towards the summit of Corriebracks, just south of which you'll find a small plaque in memory of the four victims of a 2008 air crash.

Heading south. from here, take the trail on the left of the corridor up Lowbawn. This is a slippy boggy climb, so take it easy. Follow the trail as it contours eastward around Lowbawn. A subsequent following of this route revealed that the corridor is more easily traversed by following neither the left nor the right boggy tracks, but along the grassy ground in the middle. It remains a mystery why the boggy tracks seem to be the normal way to do it. They're awful. Cross the corridor in a SE direction to the corner of the felled forest and turn left. Follow the track eastwards to a point north of Cavanagh's Gap. Climb to Cavanagh's Gap and then follow Hairy Man's Brook downward. For more interesting surroundings, stay in the depth of the gully rather than use the track along the trees at left. But, about three quarters way down, climb out of the gully to the track as the gully becomes not suitable.

Continue the descent through the forest, rather than following the zig-zagging forest road, crossing the forest road three times before rejoining it back to Knickeen.
