What to Wear / Bring

Waterproof boots and a waterproof jacket are required. 


Depending on the weather forecast I recommend a small rucksack with the extra bits the group my need. Examples of these might include snacks, sunscreen, some light warm tops, hat, gloves, rain pants and adequate water.


You don’t need a map for this Kerry Walk, as the Lomanagh Loop is way-marked in its entirety. However, if you are familiar with Ordnance Survey Maps, I recommend OSI Map number 84, which will help you identify features and locations you see in the distance. 


Happily, Una in Sneem Bookshop in the South Square of the village usually has a good stock of maps. The one that you want is Ordnance Survey Map Number 84 – scale 1:50,000.
