Ballysitteragh

Thursday 15th September
Today was a wash out. I drove over to the Dingle Peninsula with varying degrees of rain all the way. In Dingle I decided to head up to the Connor Pass and see what the weather was like. It was raining and cloudy. But because I can't resist doing a walk I headed westwards over Beenabrack along a grassy, boggy ridge up to Ballysitteragh. And then after lunch I walked all the way back. It rained heavily and the wind blew strongly almost all the way. I got soaked! Just two hours walking was enough to put me off for the rest of the day!

I drove back to Dingle and wandered the streets for an hour before driving around the picturesque Slea Head to get to the Dunquin Youth Hostel. Hopefully I will have better weather tomorow for my last days walk in Ireland over Brandon Mountain. [This picture of Ballysitteragh was taken the following day. I know, that's cheating.]
