4/5 From Connor Pass over An Bhinn Dubh, Beenabrack, Ballysitteragh, Gearhane and Brandon Peak. Down the Zig Zags to valley farm, cross country including two river dips to reach the zig zags back up to the Connor Pass. Probably easier to go back over the mountains but we fancied a look in the valley. Smashing day esp the ridge to Brandon Peak. | nickywood1 | 15/09/2021 |
