How to kiss
the Blarney Stone

First
Climb five stories up the castle via a tight spiral staircase.

Then
Lie on your back on a floor slab area (outlined in yellow in left photo on page one).

Next
Arch backwards and downwards. For support, you grab the two vertical iron bars on either side of the Blarney Stone. A castle staffer holds onto your legs or midsection just in case.

Finally
You're now in position to kiss the hard-to-reach Blarney Stone.
