[This is an update to the article written in February 2014]. The presence of the Mountain Ringlet (Erebia epiphron) in Ireland has been a topic of much interest to Lepidopterists for decades, partly because of the small number of specimens that are reputedly Irish. The Irish Mountain Ringlet is truly the stuff of legend and many articles have been written over the years, including the excellent summary by Chalmers-Hunt (1982). The purpose of this article is to examine all relevant literature and, in particular, the various points of view that have been expressed over the years. This article also includes images of all four surviving specimens that can lay claim to Irish provenance and some of the sites mentioned in conjunction with these specimens are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Key Sites The Birchall Mountain Ringlet (1854) The first reported occurrence of Mountain Ringlet in Ireland was provided by Edwin Birchall (Birchall, 1865) where,

The MOUNTAINS of IRELAND
The MOUNTAINS of IRELAND PREFACE The appeal of the mountains is, to some extent, a personal and subjective thing: each of us has some particular and individual response to the beauty of the hills. To that extent, this book, which attempts a brief survey of the Irish mountains, is a personal impression. These are the features of the different groups which I myself select as their special characteristics. And with this description of the hills, I have tried to include some account of the history and geology of the mountain country, and to venture to indicate some of the meanings of the Irish place-names. Ireland is not a mountainous country in the ordinary sense of the word. Yet her small groups of mountains dominate the far more extensive plains, and are themselves true mountains and not mere hills. Each range, too, differs from all the rest, so that the Irish highlands include almost all the variations to be found in mountain scenery, from the smooth uplands of the Wicklow hills to the broken rocks of the Reeks at Killarney and the bare quartzite of the Twelve Bens. Mountaineering is still a young sport in Ireland and the hills are not as well known as they should be either to the Irish people themselves or to our visitors. And to the extent that the mountains are not known, this account of them is a signpost to the hills. D.D.O.P.M. August 1955 S L I E V E A U G H T Y Perhaps the most striking impression of these uplands, through which the Shannon has to carve its way from the levels of the Central Plain to the open sea below Limerick, is gained by sailing up from that town to Lough Derg, when the river, and its canalised section above the powerhouse at Ardnacrusha, seem to be leading one into the depths of the hills Mils which are framed by the white concrete bridges spanning the canal section, symmetrical, like a Japanese painting.

Dayhiking on the Kerry Way & Beara Peninsula in Ireland
DAYHIKING ON THE KERRY WAY & BEARA PENINSULA IN IRELAND April 30 – May 13, 2022 AT# 2209 TRIP RATING – Vigorous For ratings description click here: AMC ratings Calling all hiking enthusiasts, have we got a trip for you! A two week trip of hiking in a fabulously scenic area of Ireland with comfy accommodations and delicious food! We’ll fly in/out of Shannon airport in order to explore the southwest corner of Ireland. County Kerry contains some of Ireland’s most iconic scenery: surf pounded sea cliffs and soft golden strands, emerald-green farmland crisscrossed by tumbledown stone walls, mist- shrouded bogs and cloud torn mountain peaks. With one of the country’s finest national parks as its backyard, the lively tourism hub of Killarney spills over with colorful shops and pubs filled with traditional music. The town is the jumping off point for the famed Kerry Way loop which skirts the mountainous, island fringed Iveragh peninsula. We’ll divide our time between here and the equally beautiful Beara peninsula which is just to the south. Day by Day Itinerary: Participants should have achieved a moderate level of hiking ability and be able to hike up to 12 miles per day on rolling or rocky terrain with up to 2961 feet elevation gain on our longest day. Hiking trails in the Killarney area travel through forests, open plateaus, along ridges, alongside waterways (streams/rivers/creeks) and offer fantastic scenery. This trip welcomes spouses, friends, and/or significant others who are not intermediate- advanced hikers. One could use the many easier walking routes or do one of several alternate activities.
