  • The Kerry Way Self Guided | Free Download
    The Kerry Way: Self-Guided How to plan your multi-day backpacking trip around Ireland’s scenic Ring of Kerry Many are familiar with the beautiful Ring of Kerry in County Kerry, Ireland, but far fewer are aware that the entire route can be walked instead of driven. Despite The Kerry Way’s status as one of the most popular of Ireland’s National Waymarked Trails, I had more difficulty finding advice to help me prepare for it than I did for hikes in Scotland and the United Kingdom. At approximately 135 miles, it’s also the longest of Ireland’s trails, and in retrospect I’ve noticed that many companies who offer self-guided itineraries actually cut off two whole sections of the route - in my opinion, some of the prettiest sections. In honor of completing my own trek with nothing but online articles and digital apps to guide the way, I thought I’d pay it forward by creating my own budget-minded backpacker’s guide (for the WHOLE route) so that others might benefit from what I learned. If you prefer to stay in B&Bs rather than camping or budget accommodations, I’ve outlined how you can swap out some of my choices for your own. Stats: English Name: The Kerry Way Irish Name: Slí Uíbh Ráthaigh Location: Iveragh Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland Official Length: 135 miles (217 km), but there are multiple route options Completion Time: 9 Days is the typical schedule High Point: 1,263ft (385m) at Windy Gap, between Glencar and Glenbeigh Route Style: Circular Loop Table of Contents: (Click to Jump To) Preparedness: Things to Consider Weather Gear Amenities Currency Language Wildlife Cell Service Physical Fitness Popularity Waymarking To Camp or Not to Camp? Emergencies Resources Getting There // Getting Around Route // Accommodations Preparedness: Things to Consider WEATHER According to DiscoveringIreland, “the average number of wet days (days with more than 1mm of rain) ranges from about 150 days a year along the east and south-east coasts, to about 225 days a year in parts of the west.” Our route along the Iveragh Peninsula follows the southwest coast of Ireland.

By Email only to: bord@Pleanála.ie Re: GA0003 - Gas pipeline to connect Shannon LNG Terminal at Ralappane, Co. Kerry to existing natural gas network at Leahys, Co. Limerick and DA0003 - Application for an acquisition order for the Shannon LNG Terminal at Tarbert, Co. Kerry to the Bord G áis Eireann Network at Foynes, County Limerick Dear Sir / Madam, The Kicolgan Residents Association represents nearby residents of the proposed LNG regasification terminal and people with close family and economic ties to the area. The ‘Safety Before LNG’ group represents people from both Kilcolgan and the wider community and is advocating responsible strategic siting of LNG terminals in areas which do not put people’s health and safety in danger. See attached signed submissions by Ms. Kathy Sinnott M.E.P1 and Mr. Tony Lowes for “Friends of the Irish Environment”2 on whose behalf this submission is also, therefore, being made. We are hereby formally objecting to the proposed Shannon LNG Natural Gas pipeline and compulsory acquisition order, referenced above, in their entirety, on health, safety, environmental and strategic planning grounds. In May 2006 Shannon LNG, a subsidiary of the American Hess Corporation, announced an option to purchase, subject to planning, the lands at Kilcolgan owned by Shannon Development, of which Councillor John Brassil was a director, to construct an LNG terminal for a price believed by us to be in the region of 28.1 million euros3.

  • Kerry Step Challenge
    Kerry Step Challenge The Healthy Ireland Fund supported by the Department of Health, Department of Children and Youth Affairs and the Department of Rural and Community Development. KERRY STEP CHALLENGE Overview The national ‘In This Together’ campaign was launched by an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to promote activity, mental wellbeing and staying connected as the population deals with the impact of COVID-19. The Kerry Step Challenge is one of the Kerry County Council initiatives launched under this campaign which is designed to promote and support wellbeing in the county. The Kerry Step Challenge is a six-week event designed to promote and support the people living in the county to stay active, connected and apply the Five Ways to Wellbeing. It involves virtually completing routes in the county by accumulating daily steps. As national COVID-19 movement restrictions are in place, participants do not visit the routes to complete the challenge. Instead, participants accumulate an equivalent number of steps that would be taken to complete each route. A total of six routes of varying distances and step counts are included in the challenge. Routes: Name Distance Total steps Location within Municipal District (MD) The Bray Head Loop 7km 9,186 Kenmare MD Glanageenty Forest Loops 9km 11,811 Tralee MD Muckross Lake Loop 19.5km 25,592 Killarney MD The North Kerry Way 48km 62,992 Listowel MD The Kerry Butter Road 83.4km 109,448 Castleisland / Chorca Dhuibhne MD The Ring of Kerry 179km 234,908 Kenmare & Killarney MDs Participants can select to complete the required step count of as many of these routes as they wish over the duration of the event individually or as part of a team.
