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". | |
