Description of hike: This route will follow a trail from the car park leading up to the Devil's Punchbowl. The route will loop around the Devil's Punchbowl taking in the summit of Mangerton. From here there is some spectacular views looking down on Killarney and Muckross lake to the North and West and Lough Guitane to the East.

Optional Extra: Depending on the group and time/weather on the day there may be an option of an extension to the loop to take in the summit of Stoompa. This would add approx. 1 hour on to the walk and will be discussed on the day.
