From the parking place access to the mountain is via the
driveway of the youth hostel following the arrows for the stile and
Benlettery. This cache is best combined with Binn Leitrí as you will need to
pass its summit along your way to Binn Gabhar. To download the GPX
file of the route we took click
here. This will take you on a 7km/5hr round trip covering both
summits and caches. The total altitude difference is 780m.
Proper waterproof walking boots/gear is are required. Depending
on the time of the year this area can be very boggy so gaiters
might be advisable. Walking sticks would also be recommended due to
loose stone terrain in some areas and the steep grassy slope on
descent.
Some trivia (taken from MountainViews.ie):
On the summit of this mountain you will find thrift (or sea-pink)
in bloom during the late spring, despite the fact that it is far
inland.
There are fantastic views of the peaks of the Twelve Pins and
east to the Maumturk Mountains.
Enjoy.
