Black Valley to Glencar
Bit of a sleep in and cooked breakfast in hostel before leaving around 1030 hrs.
Pretty walk to end of Black Valley then over the pass to Bridia Valley. (pronounced Bri-da)
Very quiet - saw no other walkers until our lunch stop.
Weather turned nasty with rain and gusty wind for tricky trail up and down pass.
Stopped at Stepping Stones cafe for lunch then made the game time call to walk to Glencar via the country roads rather than over the next socked in pass. More rain.
Arrived at Climbers Inn where they graciously allowed us to change clothes and dry/warm beside peat fire.
Michael from the Rowen Tree Inn picked us up and delivered us two km for our nights stay.
20 km
