I contacted Fergal with a rather unusual request - to complete 9 specific Vandeleur Lynams (600m+ peaks) in different areas of the Dunkerron range over 3 days. From initial contact, Fergal was extremely helpful, and even carried out some reccies himself to find the optimum routes. We had three fantastic days of hillwalking led by Fergal. He's a superb walk leader - very safety conscious, knowledgeable and passionate about the area, unhurried and really good company. The Dunkerrons are spectacular - some fabulous rocky terrain, dozens of corrie lakes and an abundance of wildlife (we saw several white-tailed sea eagles, grouse etc) - it is such a shame that these mountains are sometimes overlooked by people seeking out the high Reeks. Álaind B&B accommodation is top quality too, lovely spacious and well-appointed rooms, tasty breakfasts - and Fergal went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable experience in the Sneem area. I cannot recommend Álaind highly enough - and will definitely return!!
