Beaver in the Hills
Date: 10th March
Time: 9am – 17:30 Location:
Torc Killarney (if weather is bad Muckross House to Dinish Cottage i.e. circuit of the lakes and meeting of the waters)
Torc is a moderate walk. The walk commences on the flat out the old Kenmare Road on the Kerry Way. Approx 1.5 km from the Car Park there is a clear definied path to the right to take you up the mountain. The walk contains many railway sleepers over the conditions so it is a walk NOT a climb. It will take approx 2.5 – 3 hours to get to the top and approx 1.5 hours to get down. We should be back at the Car park at approx 4:00pm with a food stop.
Transport has been arranged: A pick up will be based on the numbers involved we will all probably meet in a central location and go from there.
As a note – this hike can count towards the Hillwalking Adventure skills badges and Beavers should be able to know what to pack in their own bag for the badge. A novelty woggle will be given to each Beaver who attends.
