What has West Kerry and Kenya got in common
The Slea Head stage has An Fear Marbh, or the sleeping giant – Kenya has Sleeping Warrior.

The Kenyan version has a similar story.
A stage on last weekend’s Safari Rally was run in the shadow of a hill that resembles a sleeping Maasai warrior.
The special stage crisscrossed natural plains before a rocky finish. The test wound its way through the challenging rockery – Skirting the Sleeping Warrior Hill through acres of acacias and cattle grazing fields around the numerous hills.
