Kilcrohane

We drove out via the north road and crossed the peninsula via the goat's path road to Kilcrohane on the south shore. We saw Germany score two goals againt England (hurrah!) in a pub in Kilcrohane. We saw the end of the match in a pub in Durrus - not much else to do on a cold summer's day in West Cork. We had planned to do a little hill walking .....
