🌤 Day 2 of our Waterville Walking Weekend! 🌤

This morning our long hike has just set off on the Glenmore–Caherdaniel–Waterville route, with a fantastic group of enthusiastic walkers ready to take on the trail. The weather couldn’t be better — blue skies, sunshine, and smiles all around! ☀️🥾

We’re blessed with three experienced guides today — Eileen, Claire, and Laoise — leading the way and keeping spirits high. We’re also joined by John Dowd, the renowned mountaineer and adventurer, whose stories and experience will make for a fabulous day of insight, laughter, and camaraderie along the trail. 🌄✨

A warm welcome back to our many repeat walkers who return each year to be part of this special weekend — we’re so grateful for your continued support and enthusiasm. 💚

We’re also lucky to have Cronin’s Buses on hand again this year, helping with transport for our longer loop walks — your support makes days like this possible! 🚌👏

Here’s to another wonderful day of walking, friendship, and Kerry scenery at its finest!

🌿 Waterville Walking Weekend – Off to a Great Start! 🌿 🥾

Our first walk of the weekend took place this evening under beautiful autumn sunshine — a Heritage Walk of the Village led by the ever-knowledgeable Denis Fenton. ☀️🏡

From stories of Waterville’s telegraph history to tales of local landmarks and the people who shaped our village, Denis brought the past vividly to life. It was a warm, golden evening stroll, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who joined us.

A huge thank you to Denis and to all who came along to make it such an uplifting start to the weekend. 💚

We’re also very grateful to be using the Waterville Community Centre for all of our registrations throughout the weekend — we’re so lucky to have such a wonderful facility right in the heart of our village. 🙌🏼

✨And a special word of thanks to Patrick & Fogarty's Centra for sponsoring protein bars for all the walkers this weekend — much appreciated! 💪🍫
