MacGillicuddy's Reeks
This strangely named range of mountains in the south of Ireland are both impressive and stunning. It is hard to believe this is the first time we have been to the country which is almost on our doorstep. It is a bit like going back in time with small towns and very little traffic on the narrow roads. We stayed in Killarney, Kenmare (a very small town with 42 bars and pubs!) and in a cottage at the foothills of Ireland's tallest mountain Carrauntoohil.
Walking in Ireland is quite different with very few established public paths and those that are (such as the Kerry Way) are mainly on country roads. A complete contrast to the Lakes and Peaks in England.
The Guinness was excellent and the weather was good - what more could you ask for.
