Had the most fun travelling around Mayo over the weekend.

We stopped off at as many places as we could although we did struggle to keep up the heat (by we I mean me! 😅).

The first stop on the trip was Downpatrick Head. We made it just as the sun was starting to set and rushed to the cliff edge to soak in the views.

It was a truly stunning sight, while the waves crashed around the stack and the sea birds swooped about in the last of the daylight.

Honestly can't believe its taken me this long to visit this place. Have you been? 😊

Throwback to this amazing spot. This was the last proper trip I've been on - a few says across Donegal.

It doesn't matter how many roadtrips I take through Donegal, or how many time I see the same places, it is always mind blowing, and one of my absolute favourite places to be.

Butttttt I may be slipping outside my comfort zone for a little trip this weekend. Its been too long!

This is the beautiful Máméan walk once again. God I gotta get my arse outside more because I am quickly running out of pictures. I never thought that could happen! Good thing I have a roadtrip coming up very soon!

In other news, I had icecream today. Not just any ice cream but @scrumdiddlysworld. I have been thinking about this daily for weeks and have wrecked Eoghans head going on about it. Finally was in town today.

Scrumfiteroles is the go-to for me. And it was absolutely worth the wait! My fav topic of discussion is food. What's your go-to ice cream?! 🍦

Did you know it rains 232 days a year in Galway? Yes really 😅

When I first moved here, I didn’t even own a rain jacket. Like a lot of the Irish population, I wasn’t dressing for the weather.

After 6 years here, I have realised how much easier it is to dress for the weather rather than just fight it! When I finally got a proper raincoat, I couldn’t understand how I had lasted so long without one!

This @revolutionrace set is great for the west coast because the jacket is waterproof. The seams are even lined on the inside to prevent any water getting through.

These Hitball trousers are water repellent too. Perfect for the the West of Ireland!

I have kindly been given a 15% discount code which is available in IE until the 4th July- TINYBOOTS15

Link in my bio if anyone wants to take a look :)

*This code is only available to those in Ireland

Took this after going through Granny's Pass in Donegal. Love the name 😅

The rain absolutely made this view. Driving through, the fine sheets of rain were draped over the mountains and hanging like a veil through the pass.

We were up in the clouds 😊

A wonderful day at the Kerry Cliffs - sadly this is not today. Today I was working. This was from this time last year on our yearly Kerry trip 😅.

On a completely different note, I have made a decision to start sea swimming more. Two accounts that really inspired me were the lovely @aish_a_ling and @thewanderingselkie who both sea swim daily - check them out :) .

I also keep hearing that being in the cold water is really good for anxiety. And after almost 8 years of therapy and still no real breakthrough, I’m pretty much ready to try anything at this point 😅.

Going daily is something I know I can’t commit to, but i’ve been three times this week and I can absolutely see how people get addicted. Once I am fully in, it feels fantastic.

Just to make it clear, I HATE the cold. And.. I am ALWAYS cold! So day 1 was pretty much torture. The cold water felt like it was stabbing away at my skin, and the transition from knees in the water to shoulders in, took way longer than it should have!

Afterwards, my skin burned. It felt like someone was pouring boiling water over my body. It was so pretty uncomfortable and didn’t help my anxiety but, afterwards funnily enough I couldn’t wait to go again 🤪.

I’ve found already it’s getting easier and I can already almost walk straight in. I’ve been having cold showers every day inbetween in the hopes that this will help me get used to the cold, and I think it’s working.

So yeah that’s my little bit of news. Not much but something! I did a poll recently and a lot of people swim regularly . I guess growing up in the midlands, going to the beach was a treat in the summer and since I’ve been living in Galway I haven’t taken advantage of that. So to those that do it regularly, what is your favourite thing about sea swimming?

And to those that don’t, why not? :D

The Kilkee cliffs were a lovely suprise. There's an 8km loop walk along the coast and I can't believe there isn't more hype surrounding these.

Just an hour south of the cliffs of moher!

Have you heard of em?

This has to be the cutest cafe I've ever seen. Although you wouldn't know by looking, it extends way out the back with glass walls that look out on the harbor.

Portmagee is such a cute little village. Have you been?

❓Do you read Instagram captions ❓

I love writing captions. Although to be honest, maybe I should get myself a diary instead of coming on here and unleashing my thoughts 😅. But recently I've been struggling to do that.

A year of isolation has really chipped away at my mental health, and it feels as if all that's left of my personality is fear, anxiety and discomfort.

It might seem silly that not having things to talk about has stopped me from posting, but as much as I love sharing pictures around Ireland, it seems weird posting for the sake of it, if I don't have anything to say.

It makes me wonder, do you even read Instagram captions? I've you've got this far, you must! Please comment and let me know, even if it's just your favorite emoji. Maybe I'm worrying about captions for nothing 😅

Máméan Pass is one of my favourite hikes near ho

Máméan Pass is one of my favourite hikes near home. It takes you through a pass in the Maamturk Mountains and on a clear day, you can see right the way out to the coast, with the peaks of the 12 Bens off in the distance.

It isn’t long. The walk I do is only ~1.5 km each way, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t tough! I took my sister there last week, and ater sitting on my arse for the majority of the last year, it was definitely harder than I remember!

It’s well known as a pilgrimage hike cuz of course, St Patrick had to pass through here as well. He loves Irish mountains doesn’t he?!

It’s much less known as originally being a significant pagan site. But I much prefer this part of its history. There is a second pilgrimage hike here each August, to celebrate the fire festival of Lughnasa :)
