Looking out from the front of the BnB. The hosts for the BnB were Batty and Rosaria O'Neill! More O'Neills. He (Batty) was very helpful giving me information about the O'Neills in this area. Who knows, we could be related. My great grandfather James O'Neill was born in County Kerry just near by.
Fish and Chips for me and after walking all day, dessert!
Today we started with the coastal route, no low clouds and lots of sunshine.
A charity bike race was happening on the Beara peninsula today. 4,000 riders making a loop and raising 50,000 euros to good causes. We saw a number of the bicyclists as we headed out.
The view from the village of Eyeries looking to the coast.
A magical coastline
Norman pointed to Miskish Mountain again.
Happy hiker.
We didn't see another hiker the whole day. The scenery is kind of barren but beautiful.
From a different angle...artistic?
We came down hill to Ardgroom, our destination for the day.
Heather and Brad were ready to get to the Sea Villa our BnB for the night but Norm and I thought a drink was more important.They hitched a ride there and we headed to the pub. Ahhhhhhh, nothing like a cold cider at the end of day's walking.
An old manor house we found along the trail.
Heather and I walking the trail looking for the yellow man.
We headed inland and across fields of grass, bogs and rocks.
Stone ruins of an old house.
Happy to see that the sun has come out for you today. Look after you tender tootsies.
