Activity holidays get a big boost from rainy weather

IT’S an ill wind that doesn’t blow somebody some good, as a recreational facility in Kenmare discovered this summer.

The number of visitors to the Star Sailing and Adventure Centre, on the Castletownbere side of the town is up 30% on last year.

“The inclement weather has meant that people are veering away from the beaches and opting for activity-based options,” said centre general manager PJ O’Sullivan.
