Cong Lakes Walks, 2010.
Three days of walking in and around the picturesque south Mayo village of Cong.
Cong and Clonbur villages inhabit the narrow isthmus between the great Loughs Mask and Corrib, on the Galway Mayo border.
Two days walking are 'easy' on relatively flat ground through the lovely woods of this special part of the West of Ireland. The third is labelled 'moderate' with a climb to the 417 m summit of Benlevy, offering tremendous views over the two great lakes.
Day One : Arrival, dinner and orientation.
Day Two : Hiking the linear walk between Clonbur and Cong, through the native woodland regeneration project site and on the limestone pavement (a 'mini Burren') landscape at Lough Mask.
Day Three : Hill climb of Benlevy, wedged between the two lakes and offering fabulous views of Mask, Corrib and the higher Connemara and South Mayo mountains in all directions..
Day Four : Low lying walk through woodland and along the shore of Lough Corrib. Departure.
