                  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.
