Discover the untamed edges of Ireland. Walk where the ocean meets ancient stone.
Jerome has spent two decades navigating the invisible trails and jagged cliffs of the Irish coastline. More than a guide, he is a custodian of local folklore, ecological history, and the quiet secrets of the Skellig coast.
His deep respect for the Atlantic weather systems and intimate knowledge of the terrain ensures that every expedition is both relentlessly authentic and entirely safe. You aren't just walking a path; you're learning to read the landscape.
A carefully structured progression through the Cork landscape, designed to challenge the body and clear the mind.
We meet at dawn in Garrylucas. After a comprehensive gear check and safety briefing, we begin our initial ascent through the lower coastal bogs, focusing on pacing and breathwork.
Navigating the exposed ridgeline. This section demands focus as we traverse ancient sheep trails with panoramic views of the Skellig Islands emerging from the Atlantic mist.
A gradual descent through hidden glacial valleys. We conclude at a secluded cove for a well-earned artisan meal sourced from local fishermen and farmers.

You must be comfortable walking for 6-8 hours on uneven, sometimes steep terrain. If you regularly hike or run, you are well prepared. We pace the group to the slowest member, but stamina is required.
We embrace the Irish weather. Rain is part of the experience. We only cancel or reroute if wind speeds exceed safe levels on exposed cliffs. Appropriate waterproof gear is mandatory.
We provide custom topographic maps, emergency beacons, and walking poles if requested. You must bring your own broken-in hiking boots, waterproof shell layers, and a daypack.
