DAY 4: GLENCAR TO GLENBEIGH
HIKING INSTRUCTIONS Part 2
From Licken Wood, turn left on the road for 2km towards Caragh Lake, crossing the Meelagh river on a lovely stone and iron bridge, crossing another stream and just before Bunglash National School, you turn left on a small road.
Head up this track past the woods, ignoring any sidetracks. There are spectacular views behind you of Carruntohill, Beenkeeragh and a vista of the Reeks.
The road bears right: stay on it until you reach the markers, and a gravel road that runs around Seefin mountain to the northeast.
At Gortdirragh, go through the gate to the left and head up the grassy track to the Windy Gap. This will bring you out onto a marvelous viewing point overlooking the village of Glenbeigh and Dingle Bay.
Head down until you meet a surfaced road and turn right for the village.
The B&B was Oaktree Lodge. Host was Mildred Houlihan.
