Glencam area
Part of Duhallow way
Living with Corona means to find ways to make life as comfortable and safe as possible. We all had so much discomfort in the last 18 months. Let's give our body and soul a bit a freedom and a rest before an unstable time in form of the winter approaches. Keep in mind: The safest way is being outdoors.
First of all I want to mention the following important advises for this walk:
– Only a part is suitable for walking with kids and this is only on a back and forth walk
For the other part the following applies:
– Good walking shoes are essential for this walk. Be sure your shoes are water resistent. This area is a turfy area.
– In this area you may not have a phone connection.
– Don’t go this way on your own, but at least with a companion.
Let’s start here:
52°2′38″ N 8°53′30″ W
The main trail is suitable for all ages.
A comfortable walk…
Have a look out for small streams, usual and unusual plants
When you follow the main trail you will come to an open area where you can see an untouched nature
There are 2 bridges, a bigger one on your way, inviting to take a break, and a smaller one around the corner (Please note: This one is part of a tiny road, but there might pass every now and then a car with a good speed. Be careful, when you’re in this specific area with kids)
This section is very good signposted. Unfortunately it doesn’t point out the difficult terrain.
To give you an impression of the more difficult part, I’d rather let pictures speak. Be prepared that sometimes you will have to feel the way rather than see it:
