New Year`s Resolutions
We had a few nice walks over the Christmas e.g.
Crotty`s, Croughaun, and Coumshingaun (above), via Stookeengarriff and Stookeenmeen . Time now for some of you lot to make a new year`s resolution and get out on the mountain a bit more!

Weekends Away
In 2012 the club will have two weekends away. The first of these is to the Burren, from Friday, April 13th, to Sunday, April 15th. We are staying in Hylands Hotel in Ballyvaughan. 2 nights bed and breakfast is 89 euro per person, it`s 119 euro per person if you want to include one dinner. Please give Emily 50 euro deposit before the end of January if you intend to go. More news of our Burren walks next month.
Our second weekend away is to the Lake District in June (pic of Catbells across Derwentwater from Keswick). We intend to fly Aer Arann from Waterford to Manchester on Thursday, June 14th, and return on Monday, June 18th. That gives us three days walking, for anyone who wants to walk three days! Flights available also on Friday the 15th for anyone who can`t make the Thursday. We hope to arrange taxi/minibus transfer from Manchester to Keswick, centre of the Lake District. Ring Mick for further details. Please confirm with me by the end of January if you have booked flight for Lake District trip.

Ramblers Away Trips

Ramblers on Carrauntoohil 2011 - Well done to the Twenty One!

Almost half of our members were attracted by the prospect of climbing Ireland`s highest mountain in July. Twenty one of us had a go on Saturday the 2nd and boy, were we lucky - dry weather, mild temperatures and great visibility!

Preparation: We met outside the entrance to the Killarney Golf Club at 10.30 and from there we travelled in convoy to Cronin`s Yard. Parking was almost a problem so busy was the venue.

The Ascent: When ready we began our trek through the Hag`s Glen. Above us to our left we could make out some of the peaks and ridges of the McGillycuddy`s Reeks – Cruach Mór, the Big Gun, Maolán Buí, the Bone, Cnoc an Chuilinn, and Cnoc na Toinne. As we drew closer to the two large lakes, Gouragh and Callee, we could see the the rocky gash at the back of the valley, the Devil`s Ladder. Now the fun began as we struggled uphill through the boulders and scree of the Ladder. There were a few curses and one minor slip but nothing to be bothered about, thankfully. At the top we took a brief rest before continuing upward towards the beckoning cross on the summit of Carrauntoohil.

The Summit: What spectactacular views! We could see Dingle Bay off to the west and Kenmare Bay to the south, and of course most of Kerry`s mountains and lakes in all directions. Particularly jaw dropping were the views of the knife edged ridges that snake their way in different directions from the summit to Beenkeragh and Caher, Ireland`s second and third highest mountains respectively. We looked down into the Bridia Valley which we had trekked through during our visit in April. We figured a trip down to the Cookie Monster Stepping Stones Café might be a little bit too demanding!

The Descent: Eventually we had to leave the roof of Ireland. Back down we went to the top ofthe Devil`s Ladder. From here we climbed in a south easterly direction up onto the Reeks until we reached the top of the Zigzags. This afforded us a safe leisurely descent back down into the Hag`s Glen. From here we retraced our steps to Cronin`s Yard. The walk had taken us 7 hours but everyone had completed it. A good day with some fine memories.

The Black Valley and The Gap of Dunloe April 2011

Our week end away took us on a walk along the Kerry Way - over 22 km from Lough Acoose near Killorglin to Kate Kearney`s Cottage in the Gap of Dunloe. The walk would take us through four glaciated valleys, separated by narrow ridges, crossable at cols. The weather was kind as we trekked through the first of these valleys - Glennafeana. The first col to be crossed was the old Lack Road which brought us into the second valley - the Bridia.

After a welcome break at the Cookie Monster Café onward and upward we trudged, across another col into the Black Valley. At this point some of the Reeks were visible on our left e.g. Cnoc an Chuilinn and Maolán Buí. On our right we spied the two Cummenduff lakes. Once lunch was consumed it was tarmac trekking as we climbed up the road to the head of the Gap of Dunloe. The final leg of the jorney took us past the many ribbon lakes in this last valley `til we reached the watering hole of Kate Kearney`s.

“day out” to Mt. Leinster - Sunday, July 18th 2010

Before we went on our "day out" I wrote "The Blackstairs is the mountain range that separates counties Carlow and Wexford, stretching from Bunclody almost to New Ross. It`s highest point is Mount Leinster which is about the same height as the Comeraghs at 795 metres. The main Blackstairs ridge runs from north to south and is split in two by the Scullogue Gap." Well, we`ve had our day out but we didn`t see the Blackstairs or Mt. Leinster! All we saw was the base of the mast peering through the fog. What a day. Howling wind and a fog for all seasons. (Have a look at some more photos on the photo link) Fourteen of us travelled by minibus with Séamus and met up with Owen in Kiltealy. From here we got dropped off near Ballycrystal and proceeded to climb, all the time hoping for the fog to lift. Not on your nelly! After about an hour and a half we reached the main ridge and that`s when the gale decided to join us. After a quick bite in an old hut we girded our loins and headed blindly west towards Mt. Leinster. Mick`s GPS was vital now as the wind, fog and increasing mist made map reading and compass work virtually impossible. After the "sighting" of the base of the mast we trudged across invisible, uneven terrain downward towards the Scullogue Gap. Another ruin afforded a welcome sheltered spot for some grub as the rain started to come down. After this we followed a couple of back roads back to our rendevous point with Séamus. Amazing what a change of clothes, a couple of drinks and some food can do! Watered in Kiltealy and fed in Enniscorthy, we headed home, not too much the worse for wear, except for Mick`s map maybe.

Weekend Away - Ramblers in Wicklow in April 2010

The Icelandic volcanic ash has a lot to answer for! It caused Irene to be stranded in Casablanca so she said she`d have to make do with the Atlas mountains instead! In the end seventeen members and a few friends made the trip, and, like last year, we were blessed by the weather Gods, sunburn rather than frost bite being our main concern on both days.Saturday`s long walk involved an initial ascent of Camaderry ridge to Turlough Hill hydro electric station. The weather was balmy and the views to Wicklow`s highest mountains, Lugnaquilla and Tonelegee, superb. Next, having survived sighting sika deer, an army man on manoeuvres, some of Mick`s tales about Fiach McHugh O`Byrne and some of Kevin`s about more recent Wicklow criminals, we headed down to the bridge in the Glenealo valley and then tackled the Spinc with its glorious views into Glendalough. The final couple of kilometres was a gentle stroll back to our minibus.Sunday`s walk was an easy two hour “hair of the dog” ramble in the Devil`s Glen near Wicklow town. All in all an enjoyable weekend, although we hear that one member slept in the bath in an attempt to "drown" out his room mate`s snoring!

Weekend in Killarney April 2009

The club`s inaugural weekend away was blessed with lovely weather (thanks be to God!). Eighteen members completed the gloriously scenic 24 kilometre long Old Kenmare Road from Kenmare to Killarney on Saturday the 18th of April in just over 6 hours and, apart from Sandra`s blisters and Mick not being able to find Lough Léinn or Torc waterfall, things went well! The same couldn`t be said for the sing-song on Saturday night however. Kevin, Mick and Milo kept the male flag flying but the previously flying female walkers declared themselves unfit to sing!

Thankfully Mick managed to locate the lake and the waterfall for a more sedate but enjoyable 10 km walk around Muckross on Sunday. Martin Power kept the wild jarveys and cyclists at bay with regular cries of "horse up" or "bike up"! All in all I think we might do it again.
