Kerry Way Day 5 - Sept 13

Foilmore to Waterville

Breakfast at our B&B and then a short hike up through the farm to intersect the Kerry Way on the ridge top.

Our B&B host was transporting other walkers' bags to Waterville so we made a good decision to load up my pack and only carry Lisa's now much lighter one today.

The route along the ridge was very boggy and not long long before we both had wet boots.

The ridge walk takes in Knockavahaun and Canug summits before descending into the valley.  Rest stop at Mastergeehy post office where we were able to buy an ice cream.

Climbed and followed next boggy ridge then down to Waterville and our O'Grady's Townhouse B&B.

Waterville dinner at 'The Lobster' (great beef stew)  where we met up with some of the other walkers so we lingered for Irish coffees.

18 km




Serious bog action

Friendly post office dog

O'Grady's B&B - not as small as appears in this photo
