Ireland Hiking etc:-
May 21 - June 1st 2019
Last minute, Ireland ( Just some hikes and things.
Well if the news I received at end of it is true ... its the worst trip ever, had just wifi connection and if ppl came to know of it on trip and didn't bother letting me know as true with many other things already known to them ( mountaineers, texas, sammamish and many more with many more connections) ....
It was since long time, when during searching for coastal treks, first choice that time was Ireland but for some reason it didn't happen and we opted for Portugal that time. Had hardly any significant break since last winter and No complaints but for both treks Jordan Petra & Ireland which I did solo had kind of windy, chilly, rainy weather. Beautiful anytime around, yes things happen.
I did do in bet some things which I always do..
As is it was last minute, why she is not going anywhere and all that, was lucky to grab tickets and other arrangements also worked out thanks to individuals. Unlike other times where I alone explore things and have my ride to hotel etc. this time when I landed met a member in group and on my suggestion it was great to see she enjoyed the cab ride to hotel and then we explored Dublin a bit. Later was kinda in rushed mode to enter the room and even went out alone later in evening exploring some other parts. The Painting shop near St. Patrick church was nice.
The itinerary is pretty clear, in addition it was nice to use some free time for self explorations alone.
The morning walks on Killaney hill road heading to towns were nice.
Exploring inch beach in rainy weather two some miles, one individual did came for .5 some miles.
The coastal run towards lighthouse and some other parts of town.
The cromwell's bridge and local parks and harbor was pleasant walk even in rain which did stop later.
and some others ....
Its hard to separate the hiking only as the arrangement of things had many urban portions and plus my own things done. The legwork was 90+ some miles...
For the definition of coastal walk its far different than the other coastal walk done, even for the intensity of the things. En route stayed in many small villages, kind of isolated areas, hence can not say much about towns. Its was nice to experience the black and white art work assignment for students, the nice music show, many sweater and thing shops, plenty book stores, the golf club individual, not to forget my ever enthusiastic cab driver, line dance and other dances pros.
It was very accomplished group of ladies and everyone added their own flavor to make things nicer.
For some I might feel had they not had any connections to ppl who know me, things could have been little different for me. Normally most of the times ppl don't know where I am and i don't post things unless I am back.
Since Ireland kind of shares weather similar to that of Seattle , lot of greenery, crisp , foggy rainy, windy with sunny spells weather patterns. Many dairy products and to those who drink coffee, beer for sure Irish beer and pub local music culture and there are some hard rules to follow right from clapping to other things, which was nice take ( if u are like me, u can opt for hot flavored water and enjoy local music with your group, did that just couple times), local fruits ( blueberries were really good).
Every piece of land on earth is different and what makes it even more different is the locals and culture that occupies it. Hence amongst all similarities there will always be vast differences in every place where you go and it will make it well worth the visit.
Will update more later......
