Fergal, Chris and Trish of Alaind Walking Tours are the Best
Álaind Walking Holidays的点评
点评:We did a 5 day hill walk tour of Sneem and the surrounding area with Fergal Harrington owner and mountain guide of Alaind Walking Tours. Not only is Fergal a professional mountain guide, he is a polite, kind and friendly man that is easy to communicate with and fun to spend time with . We started out as strangers and left as friends. Fergal picked us up each day with a plan for a 4-5 hour walk based on our fitness and energy level for the day! Hill walking in Ireland in Dec. is very different from hiking anywhere in the United States. While we were equipped with wool socks, Gortex shoes, rain pants and rain jackets Fergal was very kind and lent us gaiters since the ground is very, very wet! He helped us to purchase waterproof socks (yes, there is such a thing... and needed in Ireland!). We felt 100% safe under Fergal's guidance.
I have been home for 3 weeks now and each day wake us missing the time I spent in Sneem walking with Fergal. If you are in the area and desire more than a bus tour of the ring of Kerry, get in touch with Fergal he will design walks/hikes that are perfect for you!
During our visit we stayed in the B&B run Fergal's sister and brother-in-law Trish and Chris. Each day we started out with a hardy cooked breakfast of our choice along with yogurt, cereal, cheese and fruit; and a packed lunch was generously included on our hill walk along with some candy! Chris helped us each evening to dry out our shoes and outerwear. They both made us feel more like friends than guests. We will definitely be returning to Sneem to see our new friends Fergal, Chris and Trish. Thank you for everything!
翻译:我们与 Alaind Walking Tours 的老板兼登山向导 Fergal Harrington 一起进行了为期 5 天的斯尼姆山地徒步之旅,行程包括周边地区。Fergal 不仅是一名专业的登山向导,他还是一个彬彬有礼、善良友好的人,很容易沟通,相处起来很有趣。我们一开始是陌生人,离开时却成了朋友。Fergal 每天都会来接我们,根据我们当天的体能和精力水平,为我们制定 4-5 小时的徒步计划!12 月在爱尔兰的山地徒步与在美国任何地方的徒步旅行截然不同。虽然我们配备了羊毛袜、Gortex 鞋、雨裤和雨衣,但 Fergal 非常友善,借给我们绑腿,因为地面非常非常湿!他帮我们买了防水袜(是的,有这种东西……而且在爱尔兰很需要!)。在 Fergal 的指导下,我们感到 100% 安全。
我已经在家待了 3 周了,每天醒来,我们都怀念与 Fergal 一起在斯尼姆徒步的时光。如果您在该地区,并且想要的不仅仅是乘坐巴士游览凯里环线,请联系 Fergal,他将为您设计最适合您的徒步/远足路线!
在我们访问期间,我们住在 Fergal 的姐姐和姐夫 Trish 和 Chris 经营的 B&B 旅馆里。每天我们都以自己选择的丰盛早餐开始,包括酸奶、麦片、奶酪和水果;山间漫步时,我们还慷慨地享用了盒装午餐和一些糖果!Chris 每天晚上都帮助我们晾干鞋子和外套。他们让我们感觉更像是朋友而不是客人。我们一定会回到斯尼姆,见见我们的新朋友 Fergal、Chris 和 Trish。感谢你们所做的一切!
