Geocache Description:

Lenihan's Loop takes in the site of Desmond Castle and the Raven's Glen waterfall.  John Lenihan, the first Irishman to win the world title for mountain racing in Switzerland in 1991 hails from here.  The hills in Glanageenty would have featured prominently in his training.

The legendary Kerry-man, who secured the coveted World Mountain Running Champion title at Zermatt, Switzerland, in 1991.

While this was not his only international success (John won Snowdon in 1989 in a time that would have won the race in the last fifteen years), his local exploits perhaps carry the greatest weight in the collective memory: nineteen victories on Carrauntoohil, Ireland’s highest mountain, in the 25-year lifespan of this race. He has plenty more records and wins to his name, including a fine 62-minute half-marathon.

This loop is approx.5km and should take anything between 45min (running) and 2hrs (walking). Not suitable for buggies.

Cache place apot is in tree cover area so hint will be useful. No need to walk of the trail.
