The Dingle Way: Camp to Tralee

Friday, 23 September 2022 (14.0 miles)

On our last day on the Dingle Way we retraced our steps from Camp back to Tralee. Familiar territory. This was the only day we had to walk in rain.

Rainbows greeted us frequently as rain showers passed nearby - and eventually over us.

First we had to return to a familiar point. This time, of course, we turned towards Tralee.

Overnight rains meant the River Finglas was higher than on our way out, but the stepping stones were still fully above water.

Looking back at the road to Annascaul.

We weren't expecting any surprises on today's walk, but a small herd of cattle (and one goat) proved otherwise, as they completely blocked the trail ahead.

Fortunately, while cows are large animals, they are pretty docile, and let us pass without too much fuss.

The cows were backed up against a gate. We crossed via the stile on the right.

Rain shower over Tralee.

Rain shower approaching Camp, and a rainbow at the right.

Crossing a small river over a foot bridge.

Coming down the final part of the moor. The last four miles were along paved roads.

Overnight at the very welcoming Ard na Coille B&B in Tralee.

On Saturday we took the train back to Dublin, and caught our flight back to the US on Sunday.

Great trip!
