All stops out this morning for our Royal Peaks Hike. First stop was on Benbulben Trig and then on to Kings Mountain. After refueling we proceeded up to the cross on Slievemore. The rain arrived a bit earlier than expected but the visibility stayed good as we made our way over the high ridge of 566.
A heavy mist descended as we approached the head of the Gleniff Horseshoe valley but soon cleared away to reveal the awesome views of the cliffs of Annacoona. It is always nice to keep the best wine till last. Benwiskin never fails to excite and today was no exception. After all that we made our way back down into the valley feeling very fulfilled after over 7 hours on the hills with a distance of 20k and over 850m of accumulated height gained. Not a bad statistic but our day was much more than just than. Some lasting memories and the odd tired limbs. Well done to one and all.
