Set for Sam’

Along the Old Kenmare Road

Charity Walk for Kerry Mountain Rescue Team

Well known Musician and Fundraiser Derry Healy along with friends, will once again hit the trails of Kerry, to raise money for a fantastic cause. This time you are cordially invited to trek the Old Kenmare Road with the one and only Sam Maguire on Saturday, December 27th, departing Torc Upper Car Park, Killarney National Park, at 9.30 am .

This year the chosen charity is Kerry Mountain Rescue Team, inspired by Killarney Man James Cahill, who says he owes his life to Kerry Mountain Rescue Team following an horrendous fall on Bothar na Gíge (the Zig Zags) while descending Carrauntoohil in July 2016. James is so grateful for the courageous team for saving his life and wants to give back to the team, while having some fun along the way.

Derry and his crew will carry the coveted piece of silver along the 17 km trek, with a few stops to play music and have “a set dance around Sam” - One definite stop is the newly restored sheep shed, or locally called ‘the red rose cafe’ at Eskamucky Glen.

The estimated time of trekking is approximately 6 hrs. For those who just want to walk as far as Derrycunnihy Church - own transport must be organised. A return bus from Kenmare to Killarney will be organised.
