Wild Irish Walks was set up to provide information and advice for people who are interested in getting out into the beautiful countryside that we are lucky to have in Ireland.
What I want to create is a resource to allow people to get out into the open air in the most enjoyable way possible.
Too often, there is a perception is some sort of endurance activity. While physical fitness is required, it’s possible to to get out walking no matter what level of activity you are used to.
It’s ok to have a company transfer your bags on a through-hike, it’s ok to want to go for a nice dinner after a hard day’s walking and it’s definitely ok to enjoy a nice pint of Guinness as a reward for completing a long trek. It’s about experiencing nature and enjoying yourself along the way.

- WILDIRISHWALKS.IEBridge of Orchy to Fort William: 3 Days on the West Highland WayIve been thinking recently about my West Highland Way adventure and what drove me to complete the 58km hike from Bridge of Orchy to Fort William. I think the fact Id never been to Scotland before had a lot to do with it. The thought played on my mind for quite a while.

The main reason being that Lyracappul Mountain is part of my 40 highest mountains in Ireland challenge. Lyracappul, standing at 825m, comes in at number 14 on the list. Im a big fan of the Galtees in general though. Ive already completed several []The post Lyracappul Loop Walk in the Galtee Mountains appeared first on Wild Irish Walks.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 1283 Views
- WILDIRISHWALKS.IECaherconree and Baurtregaum LoopThe Caherconree and Baurtregaum Loop was the final mountain walk of my week hiking around the Dingle Peninsula. So far, I had been incredibly lucky with the weather during my three days hiking on Masatiompan, Mount Brandon and Beenoskee. For this Caherconree and Baurtregaum Loop walk, that luck finally ran out. As such, it turned []The post Caherconree and Baurtregaum Loop appeared first on Wild Irish Walks.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 1516 Views
- WILDIRISHWALKS.IEBeenoskee Hike: A Spectacular Walk on the Dingle PeninsulaIll admit, I was a little apprehensive about the Beenoskee before setting off. A few of the AllTrails reviews had mentioned a section where there is no defined trail to follow. The advice was essentially to make your own way across the mountainside, with some tough underfoot conditions along the way. That immediately brought back []The post Beenoskee Hike: A Spectacular Walk on the Dingle Peninsula appeared first on Wild Irish Walks.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 1479 Views

- WILDIRISHWALKS.IEMasatiompan and Sauce Creek Walk on the Dingle PeninsulaYou simply just need to do this Masatiompan and Sauce Creek walk. I found it amazing. Some of the highlights of the 15km hike include spectacular cliff walking above Sauce Creek, a World War Two plane crash site and a 1,500-year-old Ogham stone. Youve also got breathtaking views of Irelands Atlantic coastline throughout.

- WILDIRISHWALKS.IETemple Hill Walk in the Galtee MountainsIn hiking circles, youll often hear the phrase, Theres no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. Its a nice sentiment, encouraging people to get outdoors regardless of the forecast. After our recent Temple Hill walk in the Galtee Mountains, though, Im now convinced it has absolutely no basis in reality when it comes []The post Temple Hill Walk in the Galtee Mountains appeared first on Wild Irish Walks.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 1508 Views
