Finally the Sun came out for a few days.
After months of dismal weather, the Sun made an appearance this week......
So on with the hiking boots and off to Killarney!
I decided to take a trip into the Gap, and follow a route from a book written by Sean Higgisson.
I Started at Kate Kearney´s Cottage at. It is an easy and fast ascent from Gap of Dunloe via Turf Path to the elevated bog plain around Strickeen Hill. Here the path ends and i passed Strickeen Hill on left, crossing the bog field and heading for the path on the foot of Cnoc an Bhraca. I arrived on summit after 1.5 hrs walk. Here are great views to the Reeks, the Black Valley and Purple Mountain.

Descending via Cnoc na dTarbh and Drishana, and from here following the fence to reached the Black Valley road southwest of the Madman´s Seat. Back through the Gap of Dunloe. The whole walk took around 5 hrs.
