Sunset Kayaking
Watch the sun set in the west over Killarney National Park and Dingle. Kayak silently past rustling islands and sleepy swans. Land at the mystical 6th century abbey ruins on Innisfallen Island and hopefully glimpse some of Ireland's last native red deer. Return by kayak to Ross Castle in twilight, and possibly moonlight, as nightfall creeps over the oak and yew woods...

Barry's Sea Kayaking Updates

6th May
After sitting strong easterly winds over the last five days. Covered a small amount of coast today in a hefty force six wind behind which made it difficult to keep the kayak pointing in the right direction... Have made it to Benwee Head. A nice elderly gentleman sorted me out with five litres of well water to drink and cook with. He told me it will be the best water I'll ever taste. Time to set up camp and get dinner on. Then to bed before 8pm!

7th May
Challenging force six gusting force seven. Got twelve more miles covered today. Made it to Belberg Harbour, one step closer to Sligo. Cooking a feed of spuds or trying to! Strong winds tonight will put the tent Vaude gave me through it's paces.

9th May
Gale force winds yesterday and today so have not gone to sea. Spent the afternoon giving my thanks to the coastline by making a positive impact of picking up litter washed ashore. Not a pretty job but someone needs to do it! Let's make a conscious effort next time we're outdoors to collect some litter.

Sailing Ireland's South-West Coast

I'm on my long-awaited holidays until Thursday 12th May!

I'm leaving Oysterbed Pier near Sneem and sailing along Ireland's South-West Coast, in my sailing boat, Sabaro. We're bound for West Cork and Baltimore, with stops planned in little ports along the way like Castletown Bere and Crookhaven. There's a Fiddle Festival in Baltimore and a berth waiting for us there!

My Outdoors Ireland Team is a little scattered this week, with Barry on his solo sea kayak journey around Ireland, Tadhg in the middle of running an intensive rock-climbing course, Dave also sailing to Baltimore in his yacht, Ferghal en-route from New Zealand and Ruth tackling some big exams.

Apologies in advance if our phone doesn't get answered immediately or your email doesn't get replied to the same day. In Ruth's absence I'll mainly be running the office from sandy beaches and sheltered rocky coves, thanks to my laptop and dongle, so just allow 24 hours for me to reply to you. As normal our contact details are +353 (0) 86 860 45 63 and info@outdoorsireland.com.

I'll post some photos and video blogs along the way...
