DAY 6 - LOUGH INAGH TO LEENANE

The day dawned looking much more promising than the day before and we set out for the next leg of the walk to the village of Leenane on Killary Fjord.

The first half of the walk was essentially flat across open country and then into a forest.  We started out before the German couple but it was no surprise to us that they eventually caught us up and disappeared up the track ahead of us and into the forest.

Leenane was to be our resting place for three nights. We had by this time walked for five consecutive days and covered 72 kilometres and we decided when setting up the walk to take one walking day off here.  That was the beauty of the system set up by Hillwalk as the whole thing was extremely flexible.
