Last week I went for a slow walk across the barren hillsides of the Béara Peninsula and up to Hungry Hill.

I set off in the afternoon.

A couple of hours after leaving Castletownbere I met an elderly couple who had set off on the trail from Glengariff. I was the first person they met in about 9 hours of walking.

They were the only ones I met on day one.

Day two was to be similar with a twist… 🧵1/3
