Spectacular!

Connemara's emminent field archeologist Michael Gibbons expertly guided us on these uninhabited monastic islands. On Caher Island (Cathair na Naomh: City of the Saints) we disembarked at the impressive Portatemple (Port of the Monastary?), surrounded by cairns with crosses. After visiting the remains of the monastic chapel (several carved slabs and a cursing stone), we hiked the island to the holy well. On Inishshark, we visited the Dunin promonotory fort, passing by a currack bay and Clochan Leo while hiking back through the pre-historic field system to the Aill na Gall (Foreigners') cliffs overlooking the impressive Buachaill sea stack. We even dropped into Inishbofin for a refreshing cup of coffee. What a great Connemara Island Day!

The weather was fantastic for the second Maumturks Challenge training hike yesterday. Paul led a group over the final part of the challenge, ending up in Leenane. There was even a bit of snow on the mountain tops
