More pictures from Ireland...
These photos are from the dreaded Cliffs of Ballybunion. They are on the south side of the Shannon estuary, north of the town of Ballybunion.
They are dreaded because part of the hike is rather "exposed" according to our leaders (shown above). "Exposed" means a wrong step or strong wind could turn your hike into a tumble. Also the rocks are quite slippery when wet. Oh yeah, and if you don't get out before the tide comes in you could be stuck out there for a while.
It was one of the most scenic hikes, however, and the weather that day was perfect.
We had one participant wait it out at the top, one minor slip and no injuries, so all in all a good day at Ballybunion.
