These ideals continue today, showing you Ireland the way we believe it should be seen: slowly, intimately and knowledgeably.

While in Ireland, we ask you to PLEASE take your time as you discover small sections of Ireland, for if you rush, the charm of the country and the people will pass you by. The best made plans will always change in Ireland, and your adaptability to enjoy chance encounters with friendly locals, incredible characters and the odd charismatic sheep is what will make your holiday a truly memorable experience!!

It is in Ulster (i.e. the nine-county province), but not in Northern Ireland. The county is very sparsely populated, with large tracts of land being uninhabited and a good deal of the open land is covered by blanket bogs. It is a perfect place to explore on foot or by bike & outside the main towns, the county is still relatively undiscovered & untouched. DAY 1, ARRIVE IN ARDARA Arrive for overnight at your first guesthouse at Ardara. Evening meal together and a general chat about the coming week’s hikes. Your guide will meet you there at 18.00 hrs. for a Briefing Session followed by dinner with the group at 19.00 hrs.

You will enjoy some wonderful coastal scenery along the way and visit some of the places of historical and archaeological interest that abound in this region. At the end of the hike you return to Ardara for dinner and overnight. Meals: Breakfast & Lunch Terrain: Grass tracks and open mountain with rocky sections and no tracks. Some road walking.

  • Donegal Winter Climbing
    1 A climbers guide to Donegal Winter Climbing By Iain Miller www.uniqueascent.ie 2 Crag Index Muckish Mountain 4 Mac Uchta 8 Errigal 10 Maumlack 13 Poison Glen 15 Slieve Snaght 17 Horseshoe Corrie (Lough Barra) 19 Bluestacks (N) 22 Bluestacks (S) 22 www.uniqueascent.ie 3 Winter Climbing in Donegal. Winter climbing in the County of Donegal in the North West of Ireland is quite simply outstanding, alas it has a very fleeting window of opportunity. Due to it’s coastal position and relatively low lying mountains good winter conditions in Donegal are a rare commodity indeed. Usually temperatures have to be below 0 for 5 days consecutively, and down to -5 at night, and an ill timed dump of snow can spoil it all. To take advantage of these fleeting conditions you have to drop everything, and brave the inevitably appalling road conditions to get there, for be assured, it won’t last! When Donegal does come into prime Winter condition the crux of your days climbing will without a doubt be travelling by road throughout the county. In this guide I have tried to only use National primary and secondary roads as a means to travel and access. There are of course many regional and third class roads which provide much closer access to the mountains but under winter conditions these can very quickly become unpassable. The first recorded winter climbing I am aware of, was done in the Horsehoe Corrie in the early seventies and since then barely a couple of new routes have been logged anywhere in Donegal each decade since that! It was the winter of 2009/2010 that one of the coldest and longest winters in recorded history occurred with over 6 weeks of minus temperatures and snowdrifts of up to 12m in the Donegal uplands.

[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.

Crannagh Ramblers The Crannagh Ramblers, 20 Years a-Growing....Fiche Bliain ag Fas The Crannagh Ramblers's inaugural walk took place on Sunday 15th June 1997. The late John Doherty, the club's founder, led the walk of 12 members on Mamore Hill, Urris. 3 of those 12 founding members are still regular walkers with the Ramblers! Since then the club has grown to 38 members. Based in Inishowen the group got its name from the Crana river on which the town of Buncrana is built. The Crannagh Ramblers is a Cross-Border club with many of its members from Derry. The club is an active hillwalking group which meets regularly. Memorable club holidays include trips to Austria and Slovenia. Our annual holidays have brought us to the Mourne Mountains, Slieve League and the Wicklow Hills. On our 20th anniversary we reminisce on the very many happy occasions we have enjoyed and the new friendships we have made. We remember in particular our founder and leader, the late John Doherty. The club has erected a plaque in his memory on Mamore hill, the hill he chose to launch the club. We are delighted that our club has grown over the years and is still very much a lively, vibrant club.

  • 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.

  • Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002
    THE Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002 Welcome to our first edition of The Creeslough View, which you will find is filled with memorabilia, nostalgia, heritage and local history, - the story of life presented by members of our community. The purpose of the Creeslough View is to give the locals an opportunity to document stories, poems, and old photographs to remind us now and again of our past on which we build our future. Because so much happens throughout the year in Creeslough it was felt it would be a shame not to document it. It is hoped the Creeslough View will enable smaller clubs and voluntary organisations to show off their achievements throughout the year. The social history of this locality has changed dramatically, but all the more is the need to record and acknowledge for tomorrow’s world, the spirit and common good, the close knit and dependence on others as a community, and the many characters who sustained it during the difficult times. We would like to thank each and every one of you that contributed to the Creeslough View. For the photographs and the stories, and a special thankyou to the sponsors for their generous support. I must also thank John Doak for all his work in preparing the material for printing. Because we received so much material for this edition, it was impossible to include it all. But rest assured it will be printed in the next edition next year. Again happy Christmas and thank you for purchasing the Creeslough View Declan Breslin 1 THE Muckish Mountain BY CHARLIE GALLAGHER "Muckish proud with her Muckish today has the same end a sand quarry.
