Do not upload new comments, tracks etc on Monday until we notify you that this is completed. There is a risk that the migration will take more than one day. Additional points:When we have completed this, this forum should be available again. The initial work has been done and appears to have been successful.

A start on pronunciation files. Kerry.
Context of comment:MountainViews is pleased to announce that we have now got pronunciations available for a number of places in Kerry. So if you are wondering how to pronounce Boughil or its Irish name Buachaill Finnleithid you can hear them at:https://mountainviews.ie/summit/227/ others that you might like to try include: summit/218/ Knocknamanagh Mountain, Cnoc na Manach summit/441/ Knocknagorraveela Mountain, Cnoc na gCorrmhíolta Message:MountainViews would very much like to thank our veteran supporter Paul Tempan and his assistant for these pronunciations Hannah Ní Shearcaigh. Hannah is a Kerry native speaker. We would also like to thank volunteer Mike Griffin for research and implementation of the programming code to make the neat short icon for playing the sounds. 443 pronunciation files have been created so far for this project. This is a great start for Kerry and included many of the trickier to pronounce names of the region. We hope to expand the places for which we have pronunciations. Additional points:As usual with any new feature there are likely to be errors. Please let us know at admin@mountainviews.ie If you are interested in assisting with pronunciations and can help practically, please do get in touch. |

Hill Of Ward Entrance
Context of comment:Historical Hills inclusionMessage:I was there in the summer of 2020 and there is parking at crossroads for two cars or so beside a water tower around 3 km from Athboy. A purpose built entrance leads to a 200 metre flat walk to the ditches and ramparts at the summit. Well worth a visit when restrictions ease again. Additional points:No Parking issues |
