Page 3 Sneem Community News Sneem Parish News 2020: FINAL call for articles - deadline Friday, 11th September Sneem Parish News would like to record for future generations how life has been affected in 2020 by the coronavirus pandemic. How has the lockdown af- fected you, your family, your work, your business? Have you learned how to use Zoom or social media to stay in contact with family and friends? Have you found a renewed sense of community where friends and neighbours are rallying around to help one another, particularly those who most need a helping hand? To reflect what is happening in the parish during this most unusual of years, send us your articles, poems and photos for inclusion in this year’s magazine. Please submit these, along with reports from clubs and organisations, as well as wedding photos, family photos, obituaries, etc. to Maidie O’Leary ([email protected] ), Mary Margaret Casey ( [email protected] ) or John Downing ( [email protected] ). Due to the demands of our printers and the time required by the editors to pro- duce the magazine, we will NOT be able to accept any material for publication after the deadline of Friday, 11th September . 2021 Sneem Calendar We are looking for photographs for the June, July and August pages. Pictures must be Sneem related and horizontally orientated. Please send your pictures with your name and caption to [email protected] . Looking forward to seeing your photographs! Sneem International Storytelling and Folklore Festival After considerable discussion and deliberation our Committee has agreed unani- mously that it would be irresponsible to go ahead and hold this year’s festival. It was not a decision we took with any pleasure but given the current conditions and the uncertainty about the future we felt we were left with no alternative. It is not all doom and gloom however as we have provisionally set a date for next year’s festival, 5th to 7th November 2021 and already have our thinking caps on to make 2021’s event the best ever. Please keep an eye our website and Facebook pages as we will post information as we go along. Hope to see you in Sneem next year. Stay safe and healthy. The Festival Committee Sneem Story House Meeting The inaugural meeting of the Sneem Story House project was held in the Little Church in Sneem on Thursday evening 6 th August with 27 attendees. Chaired by Batt Burns, our local seanachaí and chair of the Sneem Storytelling Festival, the objective of this meeting was to assess the level of interest in the community for a Story House in the village of Sneem. Batt gave some background to Ciarraí Scealach/Storied Kerry’s vision of a story house being a community building in the locality with all books and artefacts displayed and a vehicle for the collection of stories, with new stories being discovered. Storied Kerry’s vision is trying to revive rural life and rural development. Page 4 Sneem Story House Meeting Sneem’s vision for a Story House was then explored, with Sneem having built a reputation over the past 8 years as the home of the increasingly successful Sneem International Storytelling and Folklore Festival. The Story House could be a central location in an area that is: ♦ A library for a local area ♦ A place for ongoing research and collection of stories ♦ Having a programme of exhibitions, e.g. like the Lady Brodrick exhibition in the Geopark; sportsmen – John Egan, The Casey Brothers ♦ Live storytelling – somebody sitting down telling a story ♦ Train young tellers – the Young Tellers is one of the most successful items in the Storytelling Festival with 9 young tellers last year, 2 from Sneem. Batt trains the 6th class in Sneem NS. ♦ Could locals take turns telling stories here - there are natural storytellers and trained storytellers ♦ How many visitors would want to hear a story? ♦ A hub to start local tours – walking tours of Sneem – Sneem Sculpture Trail ♦ There is also a strong tradition of drama here in Sneem: perhaps dramatic presentations with a Sneem theme or poetry readings or one man shows not needing a full stage. Contributions were sought from attendees, in general, the idea was warmly re- ceived and people thought it would be a positive asset for Sneem. Suggestions included a venue for one man shows, a repository for the history of Sneem, an attraction for visitors, a quiet place for visitors to sit and reflect or listen to a story, a stop on the Kerry Way, similar to the Camino, where walkers visit the local church and fill their water bottle nearby (could be added to the Kerry Way app). Rev. Michael Cavanagh then spoke about the Waterville experience, where when he arrived 10 years ago, St. John’s Church was in a poor state with a very small and aging congregation. There were few opportunities for the church to get fund- ing as a church, but they leased the church to Waterville IRD (Integrated Rural Development) and the IRD were able to draw down funding. It is still a church and a consecrated building, but has also been transformed into a Heritage Cen- tre. Michael is proposing something similar for the Little Church in Sneem, whereby it could be leased to the local community for a peppercorn rent and then funding could be drawn down to renovate the church and utilise it as a Story House while Sunday services would still be held. Overall the idea has received a very positive response and, once Covid re- strictions allow, another public meeting will be held to elect a committee and es- tablish how best to proceed with this project. If you have any ideas, or would be willing to get involved with this project, please contact any of the following people: Batt Burns, Chairman, Sneem Storytelling Festival, [email protected], Text 086 8095124 Michael Cavanagh, Little Church Rector, [email protected].

  • 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.

It is a magical place to discover on foot, from rugged cliffs to golden beaches, small villages, green pastures, peat bogs and always picturesque mountain ranges in sight. Hiking the Kerry Way allows you to see the “real” Ireland, away from crowds and only the sounds of nature to accompany you. This area was first settled around 300 BC by the people of Ciar – an early Celtic Tribe, and your holiday will immerse you in almost 10,000 years of dramatic history. Come and discover this region of Kerry known as the Iveragh Peninsula or more famously “The Ring of Kerry” & you will wonder why it has taken you so long to discover such an idyllic part of the world. This holiday begins & ends in Killarney and takes you to the eastern highlights of this trail.

  • List of Irish Mountain Passes
    List of Irish Mountain Passes The following document is a list of mountain passes and similar features extracted from the gazetteer, Irish Landscape Names. Please consult the full document (also available at Mountain Views) for the abbreviations of sources, symbols and conventions adopted. The list was compiled during the month of June 2020 and comprises more than eighty Irish passes and cols, including both vehicular passes and pedestrian saddles. There were thousands of features that could have been included, but since I intended this as part of a gazetteer of place-names in the Irish mountain landscape, I had to be selective and decided to focus on those which have names and are of importance to walkers, either as a starting point for a route or as a way of accessing summits. Some heights are approximate due to the lack of a spot height on maps. Certain features have not been categorised as passes, such as Barnesmore Gap, Doo Lough Pass and Ballaghaneary because they did not fulfil geographical criteria for various reasons which are explained under the entry for the individual feature. They have, however, been included in the list as important features in the mountain landscape.
