Day 34: Wild Donegal

Day 34 - Tuesday, April 24th 2018: Carndonagh to Leenan Head 24 km / Total 747 km, 12°C, cloudy

In Carndonagh, I went to the supermarket to get a sandwich, just to be sure I had something to eat for lunch. And when I got out, it started raining. And St Patrick saved me. In fact, there's a cross, from the earliest time of Church in Ireland, maybe from the 8th century, and there's a roof above it. So I waited there, closed to St Patrick's cross until the rain stopped. Then I walked straight ahead to Ballyliffin. There's golf there that will host the Irish Open (Dubaï is involved) in July, and it might explain why I saw men working along the road all the morning to put the fibre here. I made a stop there at Nancy's Barn to get a hot meal. It's always better when I can get a hot meal during the day. Then I arrived at the Urris hills area. I walked to Dunaff where a couple stopped to ask where I was walking to as they already saw me in the morning at Carndonagh. Finally, I reached Leenan, and found a place which was not a field, close to the sea, and decided to put my tent there. It was quite a sunny evening, and it was warm enough inside my tent. I ate my sandwich while teenagers passed on a quad, and a car later, but no one asked me anything so it was alright. I had a great view of Fanad Head and the Lough Swilly. That's it, I camped in the wildland of Donegal.
