Day four of hiking began with us going back into town to buy sandwiches at the local supermarket to enjoy later that day.
This path lead up out of town, around a local hill.
The town of Glenbeigh
Old, gnarly things.

:-)

A promising day, with plenty of sunshine.
Our only injury for the entire trip was a small blister on Tracy's foot.

Nothing a little handiwork with mole skin can't fix up.

That's Drung Hill.

From this spot to the ridge where we ate lunch, we went through 9 farmer's gates.

The path here was pretty obvious, but it was also rocky, so you had to watch your footing.
More ruins.
We were extremely lucky with the weather.

Imagine hiking up through this gully if there was a steady rain... it would turn into a stream bed.

This is looking back towards where we came from.  That 2nd hill on the left is the one we encircled as we left Glengeigh earlier that morning.
We're about 800 feet above the water here (which is an inlet from the Atlantic Ocean)
Way down below us was a tourist bus stop, with some of the people looking right back up at us.

It's not obvious from this view, but the busses are at the side of a cliff that's about 20-30 feet off the ocean.

This is where we targeted after having had a lunch sitting on a rock in the middle of a sheep field.
This is the 2nd time we went through a forested area.
We could afford this!

It's a bit of a fixer upper.

This picture cracks me up.
This community center hosts a Gaelic Football field, and is where we made the call to our next B&B.  The host there drove out to bring us in.

Nice day.

Our B&B for the night, in the town of Cahersiveen

The Cul Draiochta, which is Gaelic for "magic place".
