David-Guenot: Track 3730 in area near Maamturks (Ireland)
Na Sléibhte February walk, plan B
Length: 31.3km, Creator time taken: 6h36m, Ascent: 539m,
Descent: 532m

Places: Start at L87810 61976, end at L95747 52686 12km SE from Start
Logged as completed by 1

A shorter version of the Na Sléibhte "Plan B" route which actually started at the Tawnyard car park. Still had problems with the breathing on the steeper bits, as I was still recovering from the flu, so 31km (instead of 45) was pretty enough for me. Beautiful weather most of the way despite a rather pessimistic forecast.
