The rest of us continue on to the Western starting point for Mount Brandon which is the fine car park at Ballybrack. The A walkers will ascend the grassy slope between Balinloghig and Ballybrack and perhaps catch up with the B walkers who are taking the normal Western route to the summit of Brandon. After resting on the top, the B walkers will return to Ballybrack but if the day is good the A walkers will continue Northwards to Peirsamore as far as the Col before Masatiompan and return along the Dingle Way. annascaulwalks.org
