Consequently in order to determine the long-term run-off from each of the catchments at the possible discharge points, an average annual rainfall of 1336mm is assumed. This is the average rainfall on the Feale catchment, which is the closest catchment to the River Tyshe with recorded data. The catchment lies in Hydrometric Area 23 in which the estimated annual losses due to evapo-transpiration are 490mm. Thus, the average annual run-off is 1336 – 490 = 846mm/annum, which is equivalent to an average daily flow (ADF) (846 x 1.0 x 106) (1000 x 365.25) = 2,316 m3/d/km2 (0.027 l/s/km2) of catchment area. In the absence of recorded river dry weather and 95 percentile flow data, it is necessary to attempt to calculate what the flows might be for the River Tyshe using the estimated average daily flow.

  • 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?

The strength of the Company was about 100 men. About August, 1914 our two drill instructors as well as a number of men in the Company were called up as they were on the British Army Reserve. This, as well as Redmond's call on the Volunteers to defend the shores of Ireland, was the cause of the breaking up of the Company and it ceased to exist. It was not, until early 19l7, that the Volunteers were reorganised at Learn, Lixnaw. I and a few other men in the area had got into touch with members of a Volunteer Company which had been in existence in Tralee for some time previously, so we decided to reorganise the Lixnaw Company. Our first Company Captain was Tom Shanahan.

I was sent to the local National School until I was 15 years of age. When I left school I was apprenticed to the bakery trade. On the formation of the Volunteers in Tralee in the latter end of 1913 or early 1914, I became a member. The drill instructorsat the time were John Roche and Ned Leen, both ex-British soldiers. In all, there were four companies in the town of Tralee, A, B, C and D. The total strength was about 400 men. We paraded and drilled with wooden rifles throughout the year 1914. After John Redmond's speech at Woodenbridge in Co. Wicklow calling on the Volunteers to join the British army to defend the shores of Ireland, there was a split in the local battalion. A, B and D companies were opposed to Redmond's policy, but C Company were in favour and broke away from the battalion and ceased to take any further part in the activities of the Volunteers. We continued our parades and drills during the year 1915. Among the members of the Battalion Council at this time were Austin Stack, P.J.Cahill, Dan Healy and Fr.
