An Outdoor Pursuit Trip to Kenmare has been organised for Transition Year Students on Thursday the 12th of September. For the trip students will get a bus to Kenmare and then hike from there to Killarney. This 16km/10mile walk will take you through the uplands of the Killarney National Part and will take approax 4 and a half hours to complete. The walk will test students' determination while taking in some of the most beautiful views this country has to offer. They will need to bring a packed lunch and plenty of water for this activity. This activity will require students to bring comfortable clothes, a rain jacket and suitable footwear for hiking. Students should also bring a separate bag with a change of clothes, a towel and a plastic bag for dirty or wet clothes that will be left on the bus and can be changed into after the hike if required.
