Title: Hiking highlights 2020
Post by: henryb on 13:13:54, 03/01/21

When restrictions were eased in the summer and autumn months I visited Fermanagh, Mayo and Ballina. Here are some of my favourite photos. My top three photos: Knocknashee, Union Rock and Achill Island from Benwee Head. Enjoy

Thanks Pyramut, that photo isn't actually a walk. I took that photo driving back from Benwee Head to Ballina in the afternoon. I was taken back when I saw the cliffs :)  Downpatrick Head is another place nearby worthwhile visiting :)

Ceide Fields, North Mayo reminds me of Orkney.
