Ireland-2-Turkey 2024

We travelled across south west of Sligo to view the countryside around Easky. Apparently Easky means “abounding in fish” and is popular for surfing, kayaking and, of course, fishing.

The Atlantic Ocean just out side of Easky.

The remains of an old castle near the pier at Easky.

A short video showing the Atlantic and small rock pools.

Another photo showing rock pools and stone as opposed to sand beaches back home.

A photo showing more of the coastline.

There were several camper vans along the way. They were obviously surfers as they were airing their wetsuits in the strong breeze.

Emer did say the way is not as cold as it looks. But, it looked damn cold to me!

A photo looking back cross the coastline towards Knocknarea.

If you look closely you can see a small rsised area on the summit of the Knocknarea. This is the great cairn of Queen Maeve.

Google Earth’s 3D representation of Knocknarea.

The area leading into Easky is also dairying.

The roads are also fairly narrow.

A road sign. The blue wriggly line symbolises the “Wild Atlantic Way”. It’s a drive that travels along the west coast of Ireland.

Guinness anyone?

Paddocks enclosed by hedge which is fairly common here in Ireland.

If the fence is not a hedge it is likely to be made of stone.

Then back to Carney lunch.

I weakened and decided to take Zoe for another walk.

But this time Zoe was in a harness. she was overly keen about the harness. But l wasn’t taking any chances regarding providing an opportunity for her to slip her collar again.

I almost made it a whole day without a selfie. So, l thought l better take one!

A little waterway l didn’t notice yesterday on our walk.

Zoe was really well behaved but was a little terror when we encountered otter dogs. The dogs couldn’t care less about Zoe. But, god did she play up! Talk about yap!!!

I wonder if a size 10 shoe in her backside might help!
