During the past five days, I’ve walked over 70 miles!

Today’s trek, although the shortest (“only” 13.25 miles), was also the rainiest.  I guess the weather fairies decided I needed to experience the rain and wind of Ireland to make my hike complete.

The vista at the start of my final day of trekking – so many colors!

Turlough – along with my little yellow companion

(A turlough is a seasonal or periodic water body found mostly in limestone karst areas of Ireland, west of the River Shannon)

Hazel woodlands

Triple walled cliff fort of Cahercommaun

Creevagh Wedge Tomb (I had to climb over three rock walls and through a field to find it)

Parknabinnia Wedge Tomb – located on the side of the road in Commons North

Yep, it was quite windy today (click on the photo for a quick video)

Chatting with a local woman in the pub tonight, she told me these are goats and not sheep 🙂

Ah!  A waterfall flowing into Lough Inchiquin!  (Click on photo for a link to my waterfall video.)

The end of the trail!

Seventy miles completed and still smiling!
