The Kerry Way (2nd ed)
Update July 2010: this new edition with fully revised route directions and many new photos arrived last month and is being supplied to all customers. Consider whether you also want the recommended OSI map pack at a discount.
The Kerry Way runs for about 130 miles (210 km) through Ireland's most spectacular mountain landscapes, starting and finishing in the town of Killarney. Dramatic peaks and glens, wild moorlands, lakes and windswept passes blend magnificently with extensive coastal panoramas. The complete walk takes nine days, but it can easily be shortened.

- the Way in sections, with summaries of distance, terrain and where to find food and drink
- concise background on geology, scenery and wildlife
- a special feature on Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest peak
