I have of course climbed Knocknarea hundreds of times, but today was the first time via the boardwalk route. Longer, tougher, but a stunning day for it! 
Not great at selfies! But made it to the top. Ben in the background. 
At the start, with a fair climb ahead. 
Beautiful view from the path across the bay to Benbulben. 
Horses in the fields on the ascent. 
Part of the boardwalk through the forest. 
Getting close to the top. 
View down on Strandhill & Sligo airport. 
Approaching the cairn……. 
At the foot of Queen Maeve’s Cairn. 
Grazing cattle on the way down. 🐄 🐮
