Trip

Carrauntoohil is the highest mountain on the island of Ireland at 1,038.6 metres. It is on the Iveragh Peninsula in Kerry in Ireland's highest mountain range, MacGillycuddy's Reeks.

This year we traveled by private cars due to restrictions. We started at around 12:30 from the Cronin’s yard car park and strolled along the path towards Carrauntoohil. After 20 minutes at the first bridge we decided to do the Cronin’s Loop instead of following the path toward the mountain hoping that it would be easier. In just about 10 minutes we realised that was a mistake as the path was through marsh land and too much of it was through water. We soon decided to return to the main mountain path which was perfectly dry and much easier to walk.

We arrived at the lake for a well deserved break at around 2PM and after a few minutes taking in the breathtaking landscape and a quick snack we continued up the mountain until we’ve reached the climb up “devil’s ladder”.
 

The fitter of us took on climbing the ladder up along the stream the until about 3:30 PM when the time was up for our return back to Cronin’s Yard where we arrived just before 5PM.

Together with some of the NCP (www.newcommunitiespartnership.ie) members, we visited the Parliament in Dublin.

A guide presented us the history of the building that is today the Irish Parliament. The visit was a good opportunity to learn about the recent history of Ireland and its leaders.

Event Overview

A Day Trip it is what any person needs, anyone who wants to break a little the monotony of their life. A one-day trip for the whole family, where parents and children alike, will be filled with positive energy from the very interesting places they visited and the unique moments they experienced!

The trips organized by the eiro like the trip to the Dingle Peninsula, Ireland, is a solution for a family, a couple, a group of friends, anyone who wants a break from their daily routine. When we went on this trip we experienced this kind of self remedy and it was magnificent!

We had a unique experience and we have met over 40 beautiful, interesting and positive people. We have visited beautiful places, cultural places, and historical places.

For children the most fun was visiting the Ocean World Aquarium Dingle recreation area where they experienced many species of marine fish and other living creatures of the ocean, reptiles, rare species of butterflies and of course the inhabitants of the glaciers: the penguins!

The end of the trip was remarkable  the possibility of attending such a picturesque nature views as the sunset on the Inch beach of the Atlantic Ocean, where everyone took pictures and uploaded one with positive energy and an exclusive inner beauty.

All accompanied by music, good cheer and of course delicious dishes!

I recommend to everyone a trip of this kind, which guarantees extraordinary memories and peace of mind!
