Jan 14th, 2013 | By Barry Murphy I was sitting here reviewing some photos from 2012 walking tours, when I thought, well, why not share them in a blog post. So here we go. I’ve selected five photos that might inform the would-be visitor to this wonderful part of the world what a walking tour in Mayo and Connemara might consist of. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Nov 1st, 2012 | By Barry Murphy I’ve been wondering about this for quite a while now. Could I offer a walking holiday with shared rooms only ?

Walking in West Mayo
We’ve all heard about ‘production orientation’ versus ‘customer orientation’, right ? The former is where a business puts production values before customer ‘wants’.

The Sheeffry Mountains
Mweelrea and Inisturk lie to the west. Ben Gorm, Devilsmother, Maumtrasna, the Maumturks, Leenane Hill and the Twelve Bens are all visible to the south. Croagh Patrick, the Nephin Begs, Corraun, Clare and Achill Islands dominate to the north. Truly, the views from the Sheeffry Mountains are among the very best anywhere in Ireland.

Slievemore
Achill Island, off Mayo’s west coast, offers excellent hillwalking, with fantastic ocean views all around. First, however, let’s get the bad stuff out of the way, so we can concentrate on what is magnificent about Achill.

Aug 15th, 2012 | By Barry Murphy I want to share with you 10 beautiful, but short, Mayo walks. These are places to go for a short, easy stroll and admire the surroundings. Bring the kids. I’ve chosen 10 places that you can easily reach in your car or, preferably, on your bike. No need for hiking boots to get to any of these spots, each of which is wonderfully representative of Mayo!
