Semi-virginal climber
Hi, I'm looking for advice on where to go for a week of shanty-shanty walks in Ireland.
I'm pretty new to climbing, enjoyed a few mountains in Wicklow and Kilkenny, but
am a fairly fit runner-type person.
Now my boyfriend (a seaoned mule) has put the pressure on - he's left it up to me to organise a week walking somewhere
in Ireland in June... After reading your site I'm thinking Dingle or Benbulben. Does anyone have
any suggestions? (We're doing a 10-day proper walking holiday in Donegal in August so I can't
choose Donegal!).
Any suggestions really appreciated.
ps. LOVE this site, it's really made me want to get boggy with it! |
