Niall F, Diarmuid and I paddled the Inny in Co. Kerry to scout its potential as a river for beginner trips. (Niall and Diarmuid may not have fully realised my plan when we got on the river.) Anyway, below is the link to where we paddled. I had the GPS running on my phone. Its on OS sheet 83 near the Cummeragh.

The trip could be split in two sections, Foildrenagh Bridge to Doory and Doory to the Inny Bridge on the N70. The first section would be a little more exciting. The level was low when we paddled the river and the river was flat and boring. With a bit more water it would be a good river for beginner trips. When I get around to it I will do a full description for IWW ( its not in the old guide book either).

I didn't paddle the Inny (un)luckily :-)

Must have been Ross then. Parts of Kerry were a bit of a blur.

are we sure Peter didn't mistakenly take some bad X instead of E and hallucinated the presence of another person when he was actually running the river alone?.
