Day 2 of walking…from Maam Valley to Lough Inagh. Distance 15 km , ascent 310 m , approximate walking time 4 – 6 hours. We needed nearly 8 in sunny weather. Got really sunburnt in the mountains.

We’ll spend the night in Lough Inagh Lodge Hotel, which was a possible upgrade from the normal B & B. We had an excellent bar dinner, followed by a incredible „Middleton Very Rare“ in the lounge.

Today we had our first walk from Oughterard to Maam Cross. The distance was 21 km and an ascent of 120 m. The walk was said to be 5 – 7 hours. It took us a little more to get to our collection point, but we had perfect weather and no need to hurry. The description told us that at the end we had a 3 km boardwalk. At that moment we had no idea what this was going to be. We learned it was walking through bogland on wooden boards and actually I would have been glad if the hint was given to go pee before you go on this 3 km 🙂

At the collection point Marion from Tiernakill Farmhouse picked us up and took us to the B & B.  She made us wonderfull dinner….time to rest…

Our bed and breakfast for tonight is Tiernakill Farmhouse B & B
