Coomloughra Horseshoe Trip Report

Posted on August 7, 2018 by EdMoran Posted in Adventure Travel, Articles, Ireland, Trip Reports

Carrauntoohil, the highest peak in Ireland

Carrauntoohil, the highest peak in Ireland

The Coomloughra Horseshoe is a loop hike over the three highest peaks in Ireland.  We hiked this route on a day with perfect weather gracing the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks in County Kerry. The horseshoe shaped glacial valley surrounded by these three peaks contains 3 lakes.  The largest of these, Coomloughra, gives the route its name. The horseshoe loop reminds me a little of the Franconia loop in New Hampshire, but there is much more exposure to heights on the Irish version of the knife-edge. There are fantastic views all around. The full hike includes about 4200 feet of elevation gain and 8.5 miles of walking. Continue reading→

Ireland Trip – July 2018

Posted on July 9, 2018 by EdMoran Posted in Adventure Travel, Articles

Hiker’s Tour of Ireland

This was a combination vacation and working trip to firm up some of the details for our Hiker’s Tours of Ireland of Irelands. We brought the usual collection of foul weather rain gear and fleece jackets but didn’t need any of them. 10 days of blue skies and warm to hot temperatures (up to 31C / 88F). I wish we could promise that for all of our tours but this kind of weather without interruption is uncommon for Ireland. We traveled around quite a bit, focusing on County Wicklow and County Kerry Amazing views from our B&B in Kerry. Hiker’s Tour of Ireland.for outdoor attractions and some great hiking. We also spent a little time on a personal quest visiting the house my grandmother grew up in and finding a great craft brewery in the town my great grandfather was from. Continue reading→

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love my Compass

Posted on June 15, 2016 by EdMoran Posted in Articles

An embarrassing camping moment…

With all due respect to Stanley Kubrick, this is a tale about what happened when I failed to follow plan C (for Compass).DSC_0084ces400

I was backpacking with my son’s Boy Scout troop in Harriman State Park and it was a beautiful moonlit night in mid-November. Most of the boys were camped in the lean-to and a few were in tents right next to it. As is our practice the adults were camped separately, on this occasion about 200 feet away.
