The Dingle, Iveragh & Beara Peninsulas
|
Adrian Hendroff is noted for his ascent of all of Ireland's 212 mountains over 2,000ft. In this book, he has put together a total of 28 walks that take in many of the big peaks spanning across these three peninsulas in the South-West of Ireland. There are 9 walks on the Dingle Peninsula, all of which are convenient to the Dingle Way (with a little assistance from local B&Bs in some cases).
In addition to full-colour photos, a basic map gives an overview for each of the routes but the correct OSI Discovery Series Map is needed when out on the walk itself. Discovery Map 70 covers 8 of the walks on the Dingle Peninsula, with the final one being on Discovery Map 71. An alternative, which covers 5 of the higher altitude walks, is the Brandon Mountain Map. This weatherproof map is on a scale of 1:25,000.
As many of these routes are in remote and rarely visited parts of Kerry, it is essential to have the required map-reading and navigational skills. The routes described do not follow signposted trails.
