Description

Beautifully varied short section of the Kerry Way, rising up to the summit of Gortamullin with beautiful views of Kenmare Bay.

Today’s B Walk Group followed the Kerry way along this beautiful section in overcast and drizzly conditions. Although it was boggy in places, the views of Kenmare Bay made up for it with lots of flora and fauna to enjoy along the way. Michele and Dave Fay were our leaders and great to see Dave Fay back out on the hills after a break.

The walk climbed gradually and steadily before reaching the high point on Gortamullin, which gave a rewarding sense of being out in the wild expansive uplands. From here we continued across the hills until we catch sight of Kenmare town below us, where we took a well deserved pit stop in one of the local hostelries.

With all advertised walks please bear in mind that these can change at short notice due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances. Meeting point for these walks (unless otherwise noted) is outside Dan Murphy’s Bar in Sneem at 10AM. Please ensure that you are registered on the Sneem Walking Club’s Whatsapp Group for updates. Please note that dogs are not allowed on our walks, as we walk on privately owned land with the kind permission of the owners / farmers.
