"This was a linear walk that we did with my hiking club. We started in Cloghane and climbed to Benagh and over the Faha ridge to Brandon North Top from which we continued to Brandon and Gearhane from which we descended. The visibility was poor but the weather was dry and there was no wind, which made it possible for us to cross the ridge." — hannahaapio • Jun 6, 2023

"I climbed up the ridge from the Brother O'Shea's Gully trail, and continued on up the ridge to the summit of Beenkeragh, returning via The Bones, Carrauntouhil, and the Heavenly Gates. An enjoyable scramble, not too difficult if you have a good head for heights, but not suitable as a descent route." — OverTheHill • Apr 2, 2023

"We started from Ballycurrane and walked along the Dingle Way to the first saddle between Masatiompan and Pierasmore. We first climbed Masatiompan, came down the same way and then continued towards Brandon. The route took us over Pierasmore, Brandon Far North Top and Brandon North Top until we finally reached Brandon. We descended along the Saint's Road and from the carpark walked back to Ballycurrane along the country roads. We did all the climbing in a cloud but once we started descending from Brandon the clouds disappeared and the sun was shining from a bright blue sky. It was also the first warm day of the year so had we started a few hours later we would have done our hike in the most beautiful weather." — hannahaapio • Mar 26, 2023

"Originally Heading in the wrong direction , i came across a few people walking by , who pointed out i heading the opposite way as there are many mountains in the vicinty . Finally with the directions gained i started off my hike Torc mountain base was a good 20-30 minute walk from the car park . I finally found the famous boardwalks and started my ascent . An absolutely beautiful hike , unbelievable views & well maintained pathway from bottom to summit ." — Mark-Mountain-Sheehan • Aug 20, 2022
