Clear Lake, Slieve Blooms. Meet Kinnitty village at 10am to travel on to start of walk approximately 20 minutes away (Arderin car park on the Laois/Offaly border). Duration: max. 3 hours. Length: 7kms. There and back walk with some gradual ascent/descent. Very picturesque but slobbery in spots so boots only and sticks an advantage.
