Review

Product Description
Over 25,000 walkers visit the Carrauntoohil and Macgillycuddy Reeks region annually and for those not familiar with the area a proper guidebook is essential. After many years of research Jim Ryan has considerable background knowledge and experience of these mountains. For this book he has met and photographed the owners of Carrauntoohil and the Reeks and recorded their history and association with the lands. There is a vivid account of the eviction of a family fifty years ago from their home in the Gap of Dunloe, and how they moved into the Black Valley. Also included is a study of the placenames and the folklore behind them. The geology of the mountains, their structure and fault lines, flora and fauna are also detailed. Most critically, the twenty walks, ranging from easy low-level to strenuous routes, are described in detail and illustrated with fifteen specially-commissioned original colour maps, produced by Ordnance Survey Ireland. In addition, there are nearly two hundred colour photographs. The walk descriptions contain detailed instructions for those not familiar with the area. Each walk is assigned a difficulty rating, its difficulties are spelled out, and there are specific safety instructions, survival tips and escape routes.
