点评:What an amazing experience!!! We are in our mid-60's and are fairly active for our age. We did a fair amount of training to prepare ourselves for this hike - we did 7 days - Killarney to Sneem - and our tour was arranged with Wonderful Ireland. I cannot say enough good about this tour company. They are extremely detailed in communication, execution, follow through, and we stayed at the best possible locations at each stop. They moved our luggage to each stop and saw that our daily hosts provided us with a box lunch. emergency cell phone, detailed maps with trail descriptions, and trekking poles (absolute necessity). Yes, the hike was difficult at times, but we were fine. The trail is very diverse in terms of terrain and trail types. When we went the theme was WET! Of the 7 days it rained on 4 days. At times the rain was moderate and at times just showers. In places the trail was extremely wet and boggy. I highly recommend water proof shoes and also the use of mole skin for your feet. You will encounter sheep poo in abundance. I estimate that we climbed over 125 stiles along the way. At times we walked on back roads, pastures, rocky trails. At times you scale small mountains and almost every day you will be climbing and then descending. The views are spectacular. The lodging hosts at each stop were always very friendly and accommodating. Our favorite stop was at the Stepping Stone. The hosts here are very kind, accommodating, helpful and the food is gourmet quality. I know I am rambling but there is so much to say about this experience. We wished we had done the entire Way, but we did not have enough time and we did not think we would last 9 days on the trail - turns out we could have done it. Plan some extra time to see Killarney - it's a real nice town and a nice area. We spent one day in Dublin on each end of the trip - taking the train to Killarney and back - real easy to do.
翻译:多么奇妙的经历啊!!!我们已经 60 多岁了,对于我们的年龄来说相当活跃。我们做了相当多的训练,为这次徒步旅行做好准备 - 我们进行了 7 天 - 基拉尼到斯尼姆 - 我们的旅行是由 Wonderful Ireland 安排的。我对这家旅游公司赞不绝口。他们在沟通、执行、跟进方面都非常详细,我们在每一站都呆在最好的位置。他们把我们的行李搬到每一站,看到我们每天的主人为我们提供了盒饭。紧急手机、带有路线描述的详细地图和登山杖(绝对必要)。是的,徒步旅行有时很困难,但我们很好。这条步道的地形和步道类型非常多样化。我们去的时候主题是湿! 7天里有4天下雨。有时雨很大,有时只是阵雨。有些地方的小路非常潮湿和沼泽。我强烈推荐防水鞋以及在脚上使用痣皮。你会遇到大量的羊粪便。我估计我们一路上爬了超过 125 个阶梯。有时我们走在小路、牧场、岩石小路上。有时你会攀登小山,几乎每天你都会爬山然后下山。景色非常壮观。每一站的住宿主人总是非常友好和乐于助人。我们最喜欢的一站是踏脚石。这里的主人非常友善、乐于助人、乐于助人,食物品质一流。我知道我在胡言乱语,但关于这次经历有很多话要说。我们希望我们能走完全程,但我们没有足够的时间,而且我们认为我们无法在这条路上坚持 9 天 - 事实证明我们可以做到。计划一些额外的时间去参观基拉尼 - 这是一个真正美丽的城镇和美丽的地区。我们在旅程的每一端都在都柏林度过了一天——乘坐火车往返基拉尼——真的很容易做到。
