A fantastic day on the mountain yesterday for us!
It didn't start heating up until we were on the descent, and we rewarded ourselves with a refreshing plunge into the sea in Glengarriff.
Followed by some grub from the market in Quills.
It doesn't get better than that!

What unbelievable weather we're having!
We know hiking in the heat can be challenging, so when the temperatures are in the 20's, we leave at an earlier time of 8am to beat the heat!
The cool breeze on top takes care of the rest.

A few seats left for Sundays hike, leaving at a cooler time of 8am!
