Trekking in Ireland: The Bluestack Mountains Traverse, County Donegal
This 34 km east to west route across the remote Bluestack Mountains has over 1,700 metres of ascent and takes in 13 summits, including Croaghgorm, the highest point in the range. We did it over 2 days, bivvying out overnight at the summit of Croaghbane. The route we took starts from the Barnsmore Gap road where we were dropped off by a taxi, hired in Glenties. We arranged for the same taxi to collect us from a picnic area at the end of a boreen in the Owenroe valley the next day. On a clear day from the Bluestacks, the scenery over the Province of Ulster is fantastic, rewarding the walker with spectacular vistas and sweeping panoramas.
There is little foot-fall on these mountains and almost no visible tracks to follow; it is impossible to move quickly over the terrain. A maze of peat hags are encountered in some of the valley bottoms and steep gullies require careful scrambling. In one gully below Croaghgorm, is the wreckage of a WW2 aircraft that crashed in 1944 claiming 7 lives.
We tackled this route on probably the hottest days of the year so far. The heat and very high humidity meant that it was important to remain well hydrated. Fortunately, numerous loughs en route provided ample drinking water, but it had to be sterilised first. We used a UV Steripen. The bog flora is abundant: species include bog cotton, bogbean, bog asphodel and sundew. Fauna spotted included skylarks, grouse, golden plover and a fledgling meadow pipit. But less pleasing were the swarms of midges and horseflies making the application of DEET an absolute necessity in summer!

AVALON B & B BED AND BREAKFAST KEY WEST FLORIDA AROUND £90 GBP PER NIGHT
Lovely British owner who has been in usa for 29 years. Fitted to a high standard. Space is tight everywhere. Plunge pool salt water, small but ok. Our room was dusty, air conditioning by your head makes sleep difficult as soooooooooooooooooooo noisy.
Around £90 per night. I would consider a hotel option first.

EuroVelo 1: Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way
(Contents see below) The EuroVelo 1 runs through the Republic of Ireland for almost a thousand kilometers. The first half of the cycle route leads from Donegal on the wild Atlantic coast to Galway. Nonexistent bike paths, lots of hills and even more rain, these are the small disadvantages. Great landscapes, friendly people and pubs full of music - the benefits prevail clearly.
