Managed this on the second attempt! (weather turned the first time) There's a fairly visible trail for most of the way (I seemed to lose it going from near the top of Carrigvore to Gravale and again after coming down from Gravale going to Duff Hill). Some of the trail is going through bits that have become a bit wet peaty, so you may find yourself having to leave the trail to navigate around some parts and then find your way back. In general, its lots of heather and clumps of short reeds when you're not on the trail, so not too difficult to get through. Good boots a must though, and hiking poles recommended. If it's been wet, gaters a good idea too. The middle part of the climb up Duff Hill is quite steep. Nothing too technical, so 'moderate' is about right, but was fairly tired after it, so possibly the 'difficult' side of 'moderate'. Great views all around. Nice sheltered spot at the summit of Carrigvore also, to get a bit of sustenance out of the wind!
