Fleet Footed

Wednesday: Glencar - Glenbeigh

Pretty easy going today. No mud and only walking on quiet roads and a very nice forest track. Went a bit along the river Caragh which is one of Ireland's cleanest. Then a broad forest road followed. After only two hours I was at the junction where the Kerry Way forks. Going over the Windy Gap south west of Seefin Mountain or going all the way around its  northern slope.
I chose neither, left the Kerry Way and walked the quiet road right next to Lough Caragh.
Best decision possible.  The clouds were hanging so low that even the slightly elevated path around the mountain was covered by mist. I had some beautiful views of the Lough and its surrounding hills.
Got back to the Kerry Way eventually and walked the remained of today's track to the village of Glenbeigh. Would've had nice views of Dingle and Dingle bay but everything was covered in mist.
Checked in at the very recommendable Sleepy Camel hostel. I have a room to myself with a propper bed, the owner is very friendly and the facilities are in oerfect condition. 22.50 Eur is just worth it! Feels more like a B&B. Great!
Walked to Rossbeigh Strand but the constant drizzle that had set in earlier kept me from lingering there long.
