DAY 6: GLENBEIGH TO CAHERSIVEEN (DERRYMORE VALLEY)

I walked back down the precarious steps to meet Kay. The Sea Quest arrived at 1:30 PM and we climbed back on.

The boat went closer to one of the smaller Skellig islands that had 1000’s of birds on it. It was completely white from the birds and bird waste.

We arrived back at the dock around 2:30 PM.

We got a ride to Cahersiveen and walked to Curran’s for 2 pints of Smithwick’s and an order of bacon fries.

We watched the end of a curling match between Cork and Clare. Cork won 16-15.

HIKING INSTRUCTIONS

KERRY WAYMARKED ROUTE AT ROSBEIGH

As the path descends, you head for a planted forest (coniferous), and just before the trees you cross a stream by a disused wooden footbridge and stiles, then heading for the gap between the trees (wire fence on each side).

Continue on this new forest road, which can be very wet underfoot, in a straight line for 1.5 km, and for a further 1.5km on a boggy track, past the ruin of a cottage, until you reach a tarmac road.

Walk on this road for 150m, then you leave the road (Waymarket) to join the old road ahead, now a boggy path.

Cross the saddle ahead and continue straight for 1km until you rejoin the tarmac road.

Stay on the road for 3km, the long ridge of Knocknadobar high up on our right and then passing woods on the right.
