This is a great day. Our guide Sofia was aces. It is a modest but incredibly beautiful hike that starts from the Lisdoonvarna end of the trail. We avoided the packed visitor center and began traversing some farm land. The cliffs come into view pretty quickly. There’s been a run of sunny, warm weather in Galway. Sofia is up to speed on centuries of history in the area, shared some great knowledge of complicated geology, and was expert in wildflowers and birdlife. There were not many hikers that do this route. Ollie, the owner of the tour company, masterfully coordinates transport from Galway with clients doing other day trip excursions. There is some uphill and the directions rightfully emphasis the right shoes and clothes for the coastal weather of western Ireland. Thank you Ollie and Sofia!
