Cnoc Maol Réidh


Under a sunny sky on Sunday, the forces of Munster overcame those of Connacht. At the same time, I was standing on top of Mweel Rea, the highest mountain in Connemara. Not much in the way of pictures - the cloud sat on the mountain all day. I was feeling sorry for myself having to lug my rucksack around all day until one of my fellow walkers invited me to lift her pack. I nearly gave myself a hernia - she had packed three bags of sugar for extra weight (she's practising for an Alpine walking holiday in a couple of weeks). That shut me up. A good day in all, though if anyone has a spare pair of knees I can borrow, let me know.

What a beautiful walk! The mist over the edge of the mountain is gorgeous. Not much for long distance pictures, but this one is wonderful.

bob humbly asks if there is a walking / hiking club in galway city..

I'm reliably informed that we walked 18km in all. There are a few peaks, each over 800m (though for I could see, we could have been climbing the same one over and over again). Left Galway at 10am and got back to the apartment at 9.30 that night.Knackered.

Galway Walking Club is @ http://www.galwaywalkingclub.homestead.com/
