. Love that place.
I liked this pine tree island in the Maumturk mountains of Connemara
and Kylemore Lough was impressive too
as was Killary Fjord at Lenaun

Sadly not, but may well do the Donegal and Antrim coasts after the Leenane weekend, when I am back later in the month
You certainly picked a great week for it JB 
Thanks. 2 more days of photos to come - trying to fit it in between work.
Some great photos on this thread, the tourist board would be proud of them.
Fair play, well done.

Absolutely not, no apology necessary.

You mentioned Cong earlier in the thread and as we were in the area, we thought we would go for lunch and we weren’t disappointed
Excellent
Isn't it just a fabulous place? Looks like you're following a similar route to me but with much better weather.
Top tip: Avoid Galway City at rush hour.
I will avoid Galway town
The weather this week is absolutely stunning and not a drop of rain, very unusual
Wednesday dawned and the weather was marginally better. Singularly the finest breakfast of wheaten bread and marmalade to start the day, followed by another quick walk around the fabulous village (town?) of Cong maintained the high spirits of yesterday and it was time to retrace my steps to Leenane. I love wheaten bread and potato bread but the former was noticeable by it's absence on this trip.
Forging an intrepid path for JB I headed past Killary Harbour and more fables, sad history and interesting and amusing facts.

Within a few hundred yards I turned right and headed towards the coast. Roads and scenery like this are the reason I make such slow progress in Ireland. I'm not going to tear through (not that I ever tear anywhere) and I stop regularly to soak it in, give thanks to God for the joy life brings me and take the time to enjoy the moment - something I've only learnt to do recently.
