Killybegs to Glencolumbkille
Distance: 25 miles / 40 kms

Bus transfer from Sligo to Killybegs for 1,5 hour. Stop at Yeats
graveyard.

This was the toughest day of them all considering the hills...
The scenic route was marvellous. Beautiful view over Donegal Bay
and a beach. The first picture of the group.
.....

The tour details said "a rollercoaster ride", and it
sure was...
Publunch at Cul Dun a Duin.
Slieve League: The highest marine cliffs in Europe (1.972 ft).
.....
.....


Ketil with the cliffs in the background; Geir, Ketil and Finn;
Kristin and Bente (missing); Bente on the edge.
We weren't quite prepared for the walk up to Slieve League, but
it was worth it.
What a view !!!
Then we headed for Glencolumbkille. The last hill was real tough...
Caroline took the longer route; a scenic route with fantastic view,
but the rest of us was too tired.
(Postcard Glencolumbkille missing)
Accommodations:
The Corner House: Bente & Ketil, Caroline, Diane, Martin and
Stephen.
The Millstone: Kristin & Geir, Øystein and Finn.
Pub: Glen Head Tavern: Met before and after dinner for some Smithwicks
and gin&tonics...
We had dinner at Cistin Restaurant, which felt like it was placed
in the middle of nowhere. When we got back to the pub, it was crowded
and live music.
