Irish Triple Challenge

The adventure begins with breakfast before we’re off! The first section of our challenge sees us set off on our bikes along one of Ireland's most famous circuits, heading into the heart of the Killarney National Park. It won’t take us long before we face our first tough ascent as we head up to the Gap of Dunloe, a spectacular winding pass that separates the McGillycuddy Reek mountains and the Purple Mountains. From here you will descend down into The Black Valley, an ancient glacier scoured valley that winds its way through the mountains. Briefly stopping at the picturesque old bridge known as the 'Wishing Bridge'. It is said that wishes made here really do come true! The route continues to undulate as we continue along the Ring of Kerry and enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Our final descent takes us back towards Killarney for our kayaking section on Loch Muckross. You will have the opportunity to take on some extra energy before receiving full instruction from our trained kayak instructors. You’ll be fully escorted on the water as we complete a looped circuit on the loch, in the shadow of Ross castle.

Afterwards it is back on the bike for a final, short, 5km section back to the accommodation where you will have the opportunity to freshen up before dinner.
