Today, I take a hectic trek along the northern side of Maumtrasna to visit the three glacial corries of Luga Buidhe, Luga Gowlan, and Luga Kippen to see if there is anything interesting to see.

Today's walk calls for a hike across the Corraun plateau near Achill Island to take in the breathtaking views and vistas from Corraun Hill and Slieve Aghkerane.

A short hike around part of the Benwee loop walk beside Portacloy, North Mayo, to shoot the stags of Broadhaven and visit Look out Post number 63

A bout of COVID, among other things, has kept me from hiking until now. I trekked to Corranabinnia's south-west summit, which is just under 700 meters high. This trip could be considered the second part of the Glendahurk loop walk.

A nice hike on the Farbreiga near Pontoon sees me climbing about 400 meters to the mountain's summit and ascending a slew of other smaller hills in the locality.

Part 1 of the Glendahurk Horseshoe trek sees me overnight on Bengorm to capture a sunset, sunrise and some astrophotography of the Milkyway.

A short trek into the Maumturks on Mothers Day to visit the secluded Chapel at Mámean in Connemara.

A short hike to the Nephin Begs to see if the snowy mountains could deliver a good photograph and also to do a short reconnaissance for a bigger hike planned for later in the year.

An early start to capture a winter sunrise at Keem Bay in Achill, followed by a journey to Ireland's fourth longest lake name, (with 22 letters), Loughaunfiddaunbuntack between Corraun hill and Cartron Coilte Forest near Mullranny.

A Sunday trek across the Partry mountains to get an unrivaled view of Lough Glenawough seemed like a good idea at the time until I realized I'd have to trudge all the way back again through the bog. However, on the way back, a lucky find caps off a fantastic day.
