This trail is not for the light hearted and inexperienced!! Do not do this if you have little experience hiking in difficult terrain!! Prepare for class 4 scrambling slippy conditions around massive drops and unforgiving grades. Very beautiful and extremely challenging. Highly recommend against the final stretch from knockbrack to diamond hill. It’s a straight 450m drop down steep grass/marshland, so difficult to find footing. It leaves you at a river crossing below a, steeper 470m climb up thick and unforgiving moss to the top of diamond hill. You’d be better off heading down towards kylemore abbey and getting a ride to the diamond peak trailhead. If you have the energy! Total time was about 9 hours. Best of luck

I was able to start on one trail of two mountains and then move on to another trail in order to cover three of the 12 bens without having to restart recording - beat that!
