As Peter said the hardest thing for a Navigator to say is. ” I believe we have been here before”
Definitely a bizarre day with us doing a complete loop around the mountain and ending up back at the beginning of the forest trek. The interesting thing is that we were always following the signposts for the walk. I could go on about the signpost leading us into a circle etc etc. But Peter and I pretty well sorted it out yesterday with the conclusion that it was my fault. I graciously accepted the conclusion. 🙂
Did see some nice scenery along the way though so was not a total loss.
After we reached out starting point of the forest walk AGAIN I fired up the Pocket Earth App and mapped out our path to our destination of the day.
Of interest is that our journey for the day was to be 20 km. It would take 6 hours of walking. Our scenic way of getting to our destination of the day showed, after we arrived, that we had IN TOTAL walked 20.4 km and we had done that in a bit under 5 hrs.
HMMM – Strange.
We finally got to our B&B for the next couple of nights. Nice town of TInahely. We went out for dinner.at Conner’s. Peter was trying the various ciders available. Pretty good. Had a nice meal of Salmon and then off to bed.
The view form TInahely out into the country side.
Hopefully tomorrow offers us a clearer path. Pocket Earth will be close at hand tomorrow.
Peter has made his choice for the evening meal.
Gaelic word for the day.
ADUANTAS (“AH-DWON-TES”)
The word aduantas doesn’t really have an English equivalent, but describes that feeling of unease or anxiety caused by being somewhere new, or by being surrounded by people you don’t know.
It’s derived from aduaine, the Irish word for “strangeness” or “unfamiliarity.”
🙂
Lovely Day for a Guinness 
The time & distance equivalence with such a major detour is a bit “Twilight Zone”-y but perhaps you are just much stronger walkers than the average. (Not that that would be surprising.) Glad to hear that you are still an operating team.
I found the waymarking on the Dingle Way to be a bit sketchy and the Ordnance Maps to be less than helpful….but maybe it was all the Gaelic on the maps that confused me.
