Co Kerry - Active PartyIf you are in the Co Kerry region next week, why not drop over to Waterville to join Mór Active's Christmas party, on December 20th? There is a promise of free mulled wine and mince pies and an opportunity to have some active fun.
On Sunday 21st Mór Active, which is an outdoor activity centre, is running a fully guided historic Celtic winter-solstice walk, starting from its information centre in Waterville at 11am. See www.moractive.com.
Co Dublin - Tibradden trail upgrade
Coillte (www.coillte.ie) has announced that the walking trail that crosses Tibradden Mountain, in Co Dublin, has been completely upgraded as part of Dublin Mountains Partnership (www.dublinmountains.ie). A bog bridge has been built at the summit that leads to a stone burial tomb, which is a national monument, in order to minimise ground disturbance. Years of wear and tear from the feet of thousands of walkers had made the old trail unsustainable. Everyone is encouraged to enjoy the amenity over Christmas and New Year.
Cork and Kerry - Southwest on ice

Housed in a huge marquee, it features a 700sq m ice pad, a separate beginners' rink and S-Kimo, billed as Ireland's first polar restaurant. Tralee on Ice (www.traleeonice.com) is at Manor West Retail Park, where its 500sq m rink can hold 150 people.
