Lough Eighter, easily accessible from the Hydro Road, is a gateway to these lofty peaks and the view southeast from it is an amphitheatre that showcases the entire horseshoe. Photographer Adrian Hendroff says: “This is one of those priceless spring mountain days: glorious blue-skies, all the browns, yellows and greens of the hill reflected off clear lakeshore waters, and crags with a splash of white snow in its dark, sheltered gullies. And then there is the silence of these Kerry hills.” Photo by Adrian Hendroff [url=www.adrianhendroff.com]adrianhendroff.com[/url] [url=www.tgomagazine.co.uk]tgomagazine.co.uk[/url] https://www.adrianhendroff.com/southwest-guidebooks-review-outdoor-focus https://images.on-this.website/12963_1495092555674461a5b39b.jpgSouthwest Guidebooks Review: Outdoor Focus Magazine Winter 2015/2016 https://www.adrianhendroff.com/glad-to-be-gaelic-gafencu https://images.on-this.website/12963_8694363114f3c1d799f4ee.jpg"Glad to be Gaelic" - Gafencu Men - January 2012 Adrian Hendroff writes to a Far-East audience about the charms of the Irish landscape.

[/b] There is no better way to explore and experience this stunning landscape than on foot. This guidebook describes some of the best walking routes in the area: from Dursey Island and Bear Island to the Caha and Shehy Mountains, from the forest trails of Glengarriff to the lakes of Glaninchiquin, and from the tip of the Sheep's Head to the ridges of Peakeen and Seefin. The routes range from short hikes to longer treks, coastal and inland, something to suit everyone's interest. Each route is prefaced with a reference summary and illustrated with maps and photographs. Route descriptions include GPS coordinates, navigation guidance, access notes and short variations. There is also material on the fauna, flora, folklore, history, geology and place names of each area.

I thoroughly enjoyed the MS1 training, but more importantly came away from the training with a new set of skills which will prove invaluable for hill walking. I liked the way you covered the syllabus with a mixture of clear concise talks, explanations and practical exercises, all delivered with a great sense of humour and with infinite patience. I think you put a huge effort into ensuring that each member of the group ‘got’ the concepts and understood how to put them into practise. I’ll be back for MS2."[/i] - [b]Neil O'Mullane[/b] [i]"I recently completed MS1 with Adrian and really enjoyed it. Adrian is a great trainer with a depth of mountaineering knowledge. He broke the course content down into manageable chunks and delivered it in a warm and engaging way. The end result was a weekend of learning and laughter in the hills - what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!"[/i] - [b]Marina Branigan[/b] [i]"Had a great time completing the MS1 course with Adrian. It was a great couple of days, helped by gorgeous weather and a lovely group of fellow participants. My 13-year old daughter also took the course and we both learned so much from Adrian''s clear guidance and enjoyable tasks. A great communicator, his practical experience and knowledge of the syllabus meant everything was covered in detail, with lots of time for questions and further explanations if needed. Would highly recommend for any mountain training.”[/i] - [b]Michael Seaver[/b] For more client feedback click [url=www.adrianhendroff.com/mountain-skills-courses-client-feedback]here[/url] For client feedback on Facebook click [url=https://www.facebook.com/adrianhendroffofficial/reviews]here[/url].
