Overnight hike of the Twelve Ben's Loop. First day weather was terrible 40km/h winds, rain and very poor visibility. Camped overnight between Bencollaghduff and Benbreen. Extremely windy night with 40+km/h winds and heavy rain at times. Second day the weather was much improved with some sun and blue skies. Awesome view of the entire range and valley.

This is an extremely steep route that required a lot of scrambling and some exposed walking.
