A strenuous yet rewarding hike & camp - Glencorbet Horseshoe, Twelve Bens Connemara

This is a strenuous walk but so rewarding when you have the weather like I did to take in the views. I’d imagine most walkers would complete this as a day hike but a high camp was certainly attractive given the conditions. The small lakes at Benbrack and An Lochán on the Benbaun descent provided me with enough water for the duration of the hike and camp. The visibility was spectacular throughout and it definitely paid to wait until good conditions allowed me to see where I was going and that I could show the place off. The traditional Glencorbet Horseshoe route excludes the ascent of small Benbaun and Mucanacht - but sure why not!

Having never seen the entire Ring of Kerry before, I took the opportunity to cycle a loop of the Iveragh peninsula on my Brompton. Altogether on this trip, I cycled about 185/190km and camped for 3 nights along the way. This is a wonderful loop which brings you through a number of small yet busy towns and includes coastal views with some mountain passes thrown in for luck. This is a popular rou...

The purpose of this trip was to hopefully find some snow and camp. I brought my new lightweight tent - the Durston X-Mid 1 with a 4 season inner to see how it would be to camp in these conditions.

There was snow in Wicklow in December and I managed to get out for a few hikes, unfortunately I couldn't camp as I had Christmas plans catching up with friends on a few nights. I was eager to camp at least once before returning to work and if possible to experience a snow camp.
