Today’s ramble is a very special one~ Errigal, Donegal’s highest peak. I first climbed this with my Dad when I was about eight years old, and so today we left the doggies at home and Dad and I concentrated on each other- very windy up there so we played it safe and left the top ledge for another day. Some of you will remember the climb before the boardwalk and gravel path was added in- as my father said ‘you’d be up to to your arse in bog before you even started’. It’s a much nicer hike now, and despite the gusty weather we had a lovely ramble, with excellent views of the Sisters, and the lakes that are tucked in to this crumpled landscape. If you’re planning to visit Donegal, Errigal should be on your to-do list: if you’re not a climber, simply go as far as An Chúirt Hotel and admire the view!
