We're Baack!!!

Google verification problems have been solved, I can access Blogger again. So I'll be doing some posts and catching up.

I'm writing this out of sequence, but we're in Eyeries tonight. Been a great trip so far. The walking has been more strenuous than I think we expected, but everyone's hung in there.

The weather has been both a highlight and a bit of an issue. The highlight is that SW Ireland is experiencing their first real summer in years, according to the locals. And it's beautiful. Sunny skies, highs in the low 80's. That's right, no rain. That's really unexpected. Charlotte people, eat your hearts out!

The downside to the weather is that the first day's hike was sunny and a little too warm. The warmest day in many years.
More on that in an upcoming post.

As usual, one of the highlights of the Ireland walks is the people. The folks we've met have been memorable. We'll tell you about some of them in some upcoming posts. As well as some trail magic we've had with some unusual connections along the way.


Thanks for Bearaing With Us so far.

  1. Thank goodness you solved the technology problems! I was almost overcome with the longing to hear about the trip... now as you might know, it is common practice for AT hikers to earn trail names.. dare we hope we will be hearing some of those for the Fabulous Four??
