    Take a look at MountainViews.

    Likely to be dry and cloudy around Mitchelstown on Sunday. Accuweather.

    Thanks very much for this link. It looks like a good walk. The organisers of the festival, the ballyhouras mountains festival, told me the walk is about 18 miles so thats a good challenge. Now to break in the new boots by Sunday!

    If you are new to hillwalking, I hope that the organisers have given you a list of gear to bring, as the weather in the mountains can be much different to the weather below. Waterproofs, drinking water, sun block etc.

    Midges can be a problem on some of the lower slopes, so bring repellant if you're affected. On top it's often windy and surprisingly cold, even in good weather. Fabulous walk though.
