Meelin Hill Circular Walk
Today, in a great sense of wonder, we slowly navigated our way along the 3 Peaks of Annascaul, 7 kilometres long Meelin Hill loop in Co. Kerry. The trail is a little haven for the hillwalkers and the sight finders, but hiking boots are necessary as a lot of the walk is on a bogland,...

Queen Maeve Trail
Our challenge of the day was to hike to the top of Knocknarea Mountain (320m) that dominates the skyline of Co. Sligo. Formed over 300 million years ago, the mountain used to be an important ritual place since Neolithic times. The lazy 45 minutes climb brought us to a cairn crowning the summit, which, in...
