  • Connemara Trip May 2018
    Connemara trip May 2018 ‘B’ Group Leader : Andrew McKibbin Followers : Mark McGinley, Bert Rima , Marie Hoeritzauer , Joe Wilson , Noel Rice , Pam Quiery , Dermot MacDermott , Domnall McComish and Ellen Greaney. The ‘B’ Group enjoyed 3 stunning walks over the May bank holiday weekend in Connemara, gallantly led by Andrew Mc Kibbin over forest track, bare crag and tussocky grass with a little bog thrown in, in South Mayo and North west Galway. We basked in glorious sunshine on all days and consequently the vistas were tremendous . To enjoy 1 such day in Connemara is a treat but we were really blessed to have 3 in succession. On Saturday morning we eyed that day’s target , Mweelrea , from the hotel terrace ,at 8.30 its peak was masked by a thin veil of cloud but otherwise there was scarcely another cloud in the sky. Having driven around the north side of Killary, we parked at the newly renovated Delphi Adventure resort. We set off up the forest track, shortly after leaving the trees behind we took to the open hill onto the flank of Mweelrea, the terrain was grassy by times and boggy at others , as we climbed the view over the fiord below opened up to our left and over the broad glaciated valley to our right. After a steep ascent we gained the Southeast spur- Derreennawhinshin, then down to the saddle, there we lunched surrounded by flying insects which we figured were mayfly on their brief flight, could they really have made it up here out of the depths of Lough Lugaloughan 100metres below? Next it was more climbing to the summit of Mweelrea at 814m.
