Sliabh Liag

Saturday 3rd May 2025

A longish drive through magnificent scenery in Glengesh area.




We had lunch in the pub in Carrick. good food, but very weak tea! Chatted briefly to a group of young Spaniards, who live in Ireland



We continued to Sliabh Liag - spectacular cliff views and a strenuous short walk, though we didn’t have time to reach the summit. A fine, but very windy day. Probably about 2 miles and around 600 feet of climbing on rugged terrain.


We drove up to the Sliabh Liag Tourist Centre


where we caught the shuttle bus to the viewing point.
That boat is a long way down

We walked for a couple of pretty tough miles part way along towards the summit,



but as we were pushed for time we decided to return.  This was partly because the wind added to the effort, and it was almost harder walking downhill than uphill. 

We caught the bus back down, and indulged in a coffee and muffin before returning to the car.

Tea is good for you, you’ll die with it and you’ll die without it.
