Hitting the trail running from Killarney to Kenmare along the Kerry Way
A lovely Saturday in November 2018, I got an itch for hike / trail run and checked out the Killarney to Kenmare part of the Kerry Way. It is a lovely section and it was a highlight of runs done. It was in part due to the lack of prior arraignment that it just happened and was a smashing day out.
I ran in La Sportiva Cross over and wore the Montane Jaws 10.

I made great time in good weather, not too hot and not too cold, if you have any queries, please drop us a comment below... :-)

Route Background:
Stage 9 of The Kerry Way long distance walking route from Kenmare to Killarney or vice versa is known as the Old Kenmare Road. This is a moderate to strenuous 5 to 8 hour (24 km) walking route through amazing scenery and the Killarney National Park and has a number of steep and steady climbs and descents.
It is probably one of the most popular stages of the Kerry Way. Starting from Kenmare is follows a well worn path between Peakeen and Knockanaguish Mountains into the Windy Gap with superb views of the MacGillicuddy Reeks Mountains. From there it passes Mangerton Mountain, Torc Mountain and Waterfall and finally Muckross House, Gardens and Traditional Farm.
The Kerry Way is a long distance walking trail in County Kerry, Ireland and the longest of Irelands National Waymarked Trails at approximately 215 km (134 miles) long. The walking route officially begins and ends in Killarney but you can join the trail at any number of points along its length. The Kerry Way takes in the entire Iveragh Peninsula in an anti clockwise loop and is the walking alternative to the world famous Ring of Kerry scenic drive which follows a similar route.
Typically the entire route is broken down into 9 key stages of approximate equal length or duration. We have also broken some of these longer stages into smaller part to allow everyone irrespective of fitness or time available to experience one of the best and varied walks in Ireland.

The Kerry Way, Ireland Hiking on the Old Kenmare Road to Lord Brandon's Cottage
Most hikers begin the Kerry Way in Killarney and hike the loop from West to East. Steve and I would officially begin our SELF-GUIDED walk tomorrow, going from East to West but today joined two other women who were beginning their Ireland Walk, Hike, Bike in Southwest Ireland Kerry Way GUIDED by John.
It was a fairly easy 3:45 walk on a grey.drizzly day from an area near Torc Waterfall, through ancient Oak forests, until we reached Lord Brandon's Cottage. From there, boats leave at 2:00p promptly for a boat ride on the lake to Ross Castle.
It was freezing on the lake and wasn't long before the two Aussies and us were sitting on the bottom of the rocking boat, buried under a tarp while waves sloshed over everyone; not fun at all.
Steve and I were picked up by a taxi and driven to Rockville B&B in Sneem which is where our self-guided portion of the Kerry Way would officially begin tomorrow.
