The route follows natural uphill mountain terrain with uneven ground. We'll walk at an easy pace, stopping regularly along the way. You should feel comfortable walking uphill and downhill on uneven ground for several hours, with plenty of breaks. WEATHER If the weather is too severe for the mountain, the day will become a Fireside Creative Retreat at my home studio, inspired by the same landscape. The first 2.7km of the trail follows a firm gravel track. Only the final 300 metres become boggy, and the Mass Rock itself offers some shelter, so light rain or wind won't prevent us from heading out. We'll only move indoors if conditions make the mountain unsuitable. ?Places are limited and advance booking is essential. Adults (18+) only. ?To book, please message me or email: ? janegilheaney@gmail.com If you're travelling to attend, I'm love to share my accommodation recommendations in the area. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/sligo/inside-the-mythic-landscape-a-creative-retreat-on-sliabh-an-iarainn/200030518427140 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, trips-adventures, business, meetups, performances, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 27 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Sligo - **state**: SO - **country**: Ireland - **location**: Mullaghgarve, Leitrim, Ireland - **lat**: 54.0806 - **long**: -7.93611 - **full address**: Mullaghgarve, Leitrim, Ireland, County Leitrim, Ireland, Sligo ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: ?
