Connemara National Park

Escaped from the tent and headed for Connemara National Park. The place was well set up for tourists and there were plenty of people about following a number of marked trails. We took the bog road and broke off optimistically thinking we could could get to the top of Diamond Mountain. We got quite high but the final bit of height was just too much for Graham so we had our lunch and came back down. On our descent we had our usual coffee before continuing our drive, past Kylemore Abbey and through the mountains. Stopped in Clifdon to do our shopping and thankfully there was enough breeze to keep the midges at bay so we were able to cook outside.
