What Happened Today?

DAY 6: GLENBEIGH TO CAHERSIVEEN (DERRYMORE VALLEY)

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.

DAY 6: GLENBEIGH TO CAHERSIVEEN (DERRYMORE VALLEY)

Free day! No hiking today. Up at 7:30 AM.

We enjoyed another traditional Irish breakfast around 8:00 AM. We sat at a table with 2 people from the Netherlands. They were a day ahead of us.

Catherine said we were very lucky due to a cancellation (Gaia’s influence?) and we could go on the boat to Skellig Island.

Catherine drove us to Menard Point to board the Sea Quest. It was a smaller boat than I expected. The Sea Quest left the dock with just us and then went to another location to pick up 10 people. Only 12 people allowed on the boat.

DAY 5: GLENBEIGH TO CAHERSIVEEN (DERRYMORE VALLEY)

Cool and rainy this morning.

Kay’s 57th birthday.

We woke up around 8:00 AM and actually got up around 8:30 AM for a 9:00 AM breakfast. A group of hikers were ahead of us and completely filled up the dining room until 9:30 AM.

I gave Kay a birthday card.

We enjoyed another traditional Irish breakfast and waited until 12:00 PM for a taxi to Derrymore which cost 45 Euros.

What Happened Today?

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.
