As this is generally a moderate walk, a reasonable level of fitness is required. Proper walking boots and waterproof gear is essential. Day three would be regarded as the most difficult because of the steep ascent/descent on Croagh Patrick. Refreshments will be provided at the start, middle and finish of each day.

*Children under 12 years of age are not permitted on this trail walk and teenagers under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. No dogs allowed.
