This past weekend Emily and I took off with some folks from work to the Beara Peninsula for a hike on Sugarloaf mountain, or Gabhal Mhór, meaning “big fork”.  Somewhere on the hike Emily proclaimed the Beara her favourite peninsula.

It was a great hike, and most of us made it to the top for a group shot

There were spectacular views, we had great weather, and of course, lots of sheep.

We then stayed the night at Katie’s parents house which was absolutely stunning

The place is in a small secluded bay with mostly calm water and again we had great weather on Sunday.

There was lots to do and some of the activities included kayaking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, watching hurling, guitar playing, badmitten, knitting, book reading…

A big thanks to Katie and her parents for letting us stay there and experience such a great place!
