Puffin and Scarriff Island trip on 23rd July
A very rare opportunity has arisen for you to join a private trip out to two islands which have not yet been claimed as climbed by any members of the MountainViews community. These are Puffin Island near Portmagee, and Scarriff Island - both off the Iveragh Peninsula in Kerry. We have hired an inflatable rib to spend the day taking us to both islands with a rare opportunity to land and climb them. There are 5 places available at €75 per head. The trip is on Saturday 23rd July, departing Portmagee at 9am. If the weather is too dangerous we don’t go and we don’t pay. But if it is just typical rainy/choppy conditions we are committed to sailing and paying.
To book your place in the MountainViews history books, and for the chance to take part in a bit of modern day pioneering send a message to me via the MountainViews messaging service. It’s strictly first come first served, and if you book a place you have to come along. (The rest of us don’t want to have to fork out the cost of your place!).
You will be joining MountainViews members jackill, mcrtchly, kernowclimber, dbloke, Peter Walker, Conor 74 and myself. A total of 4 hours sailing to and from the islands, with about 2 hours spent landed on each. So grab your rain coat and the sea sickness tablets and off we go! |

Nothing much to add to the comments already. Drove most of the way up from the North side of the hill to within 450 metres of the trig point. Nothing to recommend to anybody who is looking to get ... |

Although Carrigshouk is very close to a road it's quite a rough little walk, with deep heather, boulders, scrub and the remants of old tree planting. The worst of this can be avoided by parking ea... |
