Nana was looking to go visit a friend, so we offered her a spin. Coincidentally, the Paps & Caherbarnagh were nearby so we dropped Nana off and headed first for Caherbarnagh.
This was our first visit to Caherbarnagh, and we were walking by 18:30. It was a steep, grassy climb but it was interesting to be somewhere new. We took a longer way down, meeting a farmer along the way who was looking for a lost calf!
After a short drive we were climbing again, this time on The Paps. Our route wasn’t great, a bit more research will be required before we return again! We had to trudge through extremely high heather for most of the way. We were on our way back down by 21:15 with 24 more points earned for the All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships, bringing us right up the leaderboard. There is only three more days left in round 1, but a lot can happen in three days!
