ROB CONDON · KERRY, ON FOOTBEHIND THE ROUTES
The walker behind Slí.
I’m Rob Condon, a Kerry hillwalker and photographer who has spent years exploring the county’s mountains, glens and coastal routes. I’m a member of both the Laune Mountaineering Club and Annascaul Walking Club, and the routes on Slí Kerry come from days I have walked, recorded and photographed myself.
This site is my way of sharing the places, conditions and practical details that make walking in Kerry so rewarding. Every route is offered as a starting point for your own planning, not a substitute for experience, navigation skills or good judgement in the mountains.
