    Breakthrough Cancer Research nine-day Kerry walk

    By SLpeter on May 28, 2015 News

    To mark its 10th anniversary the walk has an added element of a 9 day team walk covering the 200km Kerry Way route along with the usual 3 day Individual walk covering over 70km of the Kerry Way. These guided walks will combine impressive mountain views, dramatic peaks and glens, wild moorlands, wooded paths and lakes along the Kerry Way trails.  Challenging but fun, the great camaraderie on the route adds to the spectacular settings and ensures a truly memorable experience in the Kingdom.

    The walks include some of Irelands most fabulous walk ways with the most remarkable scenery, and a fantastic way to see the Atlantic coastline and rugged mountains of the Ring of Kerry. Views over the panoramic peninsulas are a haven for walkers which also offer open countryside, glens, mountains and beaches. Enjoy retracing the old ‘butter’ roads, bog roads, and moss paths which will reveal evidence of centuries of civilisation in the Kingdom.

    Speaking at the launch of the walk Munster and  Ireland  rugby  player Ronan O’Gara said: ‘I am delighted to lend my support to the 10th Kerry Way Cancer Research Walk. So many people are affected by cancer and tackling it can be a daunting challenge.  As I have seen over my career, team work is vital and the team of dedicated scientists at the Cancer Research Centre tackle Cancer ever day with focus and determination’.
