I misplaced my map of Connemara so bought one this afternoon in Cotswolds. I'm happy to do the horseshoe as I didn't get the chance to do it when I was down that way. I'll bring the map tomorrow night so we can take a look at what hills we fancy.
I stayed in Clifden but I'm sure there will be camp sites close by. Will check them out when I get to a puter.
It's up to the group.. I'm sure we could chose a route over a pint some night.. Lol

The start of Aug looks good to me.. What about you HUD and Big E?

I'll be hiking in the Maamturks at the start of August, I'll keep an eye out for you!

Staying in a cottage in the Glenlosh valley (near Maam), it's private land but I'll be allowed to hike it and will try exploring the surrounding area

Bought a book in Cotswolds for Galway/Clare and Mayo and the staff were kind enough to give me details on some camp sites. Will have a dander on their website and will post some details.
