Our trip started like this: a broken tent and a flight to Cork lost.
Discouraged, we got to reach Cork by land - a bus to Wales, a ferry to Dublin, a bus to Cork, then a new bus to Bantry, where our trek should have started - but first we had to find another tent.
So, we went to London's suburbs.
Having lost 2 walking days, we had to change our plans.Read more

1st Walking Day: Glanlough And The BnB
August 1, 2016 in Ireland ⋅ 14 °C
The first walking day we found rain and fog all the time. Not exactly the best way to begin a trek in Ireland.
Because of the weather we got tired soon, and decided to stop in Glanlough.

Reenmore Farmhouse BnB
August 1, 2016 in Ireland ⋅ 15 °C
When we got to Glanlough we realized that there were nothing but a couple of houses.
Very tired and very wet we knocked at the door of the first we met.
A woman opened and a bit surprised kindly offered us to get in. It was still rainy and our looking was not good. We explained that we were searching a BnB for that night. She brought us some tea and back to us with good news: a friend of her, whose hold a BnB, was coming to pick up us by car.
Happy, we waited for her.
We had no idea of where the BnB was, and discovered later that we were going to the other side of the peninsula, totally to the opposite of where we would had to be.Read more

Toward the Sheep's Head Lighthouse.
Here is where the BnB owner brought us the following morning. It was still rainy and there were a lot of mud everywhere. But this is Ireland, right? There must be a reason why grass is such green!Read more
