Over 100 people of all ages took to the hills at the weekend to raise awareness of Mental Health Week.

They formed a human chain on Strickeen mountain in the MacGillycuddy Reeks, walking to the top at their pace and pausing on the way to allow dramatic drone images to be captured.

Walkers took part in the fun and colourful show of support for people with mental health challenges, their families and carers in Kerry.

The event ,now in its second year, is organised by Kerry Mental Health Association.
