 On average it rains on 250 days each year, be prepared for wet weather at anytime of the year. never
underestimate how quickly the
mist/clouds can
descend or rise from the valleys below. always allow more time than you need
 to go up and come down, The
mountains of Kerry are that"
Mountains "what may in some
guides be termed as easy, on a wet
day of which there are many,
 easy Hikes become difficult especially
for the unaware and unprepared.
 The nature of the terrain gives rise to
 un-passable rivers that were no
more than a
tumbling stream an hour before.
take at least one stick, two would
 be better to aid you when hiking.
The most important things are
proper supporting hiking boots, an ordnance survey map no78,
compass, something
to drink and eat and shelter. Always
leave word of your route and expected time to be back ,always inform the
people that you have left word with
 that you have finished your hike.
