Kevin O'KeeffeMay 10 2019, 8:48pmHi, I'm new to the mountain running scene. Looking for some good training locations in the Cork area (East Cork preferably but willing to travel). I live in a very hilly area so new issue with hill training but I wouldn't have a clue when it comes to good and safe trail / mountain runs. Thanks.
