Harry piles out of the lift
Walks Around Benbulben and Carrowmore, County Sligo, Ireland - 13th August 2021
We're out for dinner with Da Gorls, Noddy and Jilly at the Riverside Hotel where there aren't huge expectations, but where the service and food turns out to be surprisingly good. Then there are a couple of days of walks, including a long one around the flat-topped mountain of Benbulben, and then a short but rainy one around the Carrowmore megalithic cemetery a few miles outside Sligo town.

At the junction of Molloway Hill and The Mall

A glimpse into a derelict pub
More dereliction on The Mall

Back in the corridors of Benbulben Court
A stream in the woods

A cottage at the base of Benbulben
Fred and Fern on the path
A first clear view of Benbulben

Rachel looks back along the path
We head off into the rain
Trees on the hillside
Philly finds some wild blueberries
Purple heather
Looking back to Benbulben
Off in the long grass
Faith and Philly pick more blueberries
Another hill
Fred and Rachel
Rachel, Isobel and Fred on a bench
A multi-coloured cluster of vegetation

We head off again
Noddy's back at the car park
Re-grouping in the car park
Derelict buildings in Ballytivnan
A derelict warehouse on the Link Road
Graffiti and an overgrown car park
A mad outdoor launderette on the Bundoran Road
Couldn't think of anything Witty graffiti
A derelict house in the wilderness
The wilds of Ballytivnan
St Joseph's church hall on Avondale
Davida comes back from cataract surgery
The Clayton Hotel

A stone circle
Walkers on the hill
Huddling in the rain
Horse riders come back from a trip
Covid signs
It's wet on the road to Sligo
Another stone circle in a field
More horse riders
A swallow whirls around at high speed
The gang roam around
The footbridge over the Garavogue in Sligo
Davida bumps into someone from years ago
Sligo Abbey
A derelict launderette
Everyone comes back to our apartment
