After a pleasant evening sitting in the only pub in the village, we’re starting the toughest leg of the trip. Today, we go over Mount Brandon, the second highest peak in Ireland. Fortunately, it’s over a pass and not the peak itself, but its still a 760m (2490 feet) gain in the first couple of miles.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, we ooted for a short day’s walk to a b&b at the foot of the mountain. Once settled in, we visited Brandon Creek, where St. Brendan himself set sail with seventeen stalwart monks and dicovered America before the Vikings. <\/p>\n
In case you haven’t guessed, the maps below show the actual route that we walked in orange and the “official” route according to the Irish Ordnance Survey maps.
