Féile Erris Beo 2011 – Brochure Here

Posted on June 1, 2011 by Barry Murphy

This year’s Erris Beo Festival takes place from June 14 thru 19. This is a great weekend of outdoor (and indoor) events, including guided walking, taking place in the general Belmullet, Blacksod, Doohoma area of Northwest Mayo.

Take a look at the festival brochure here.

You would be very welcome on my two free guided walking events in Erris, as follows :

Ciorcal Ceathrú Thaidhg (Carrowteige) on Thursday, June 16th at 4.00 pm (no charge). This is a wonderful cliff-top walk and will last around 4 hours.

Ciorcal Cheann Iorrais (Erris Head) on Friday, June 17th at 2 pm (no charge). Another cliff-top walk, this is a shorter than Carrowtigure, at around 2 1/2 hours.

There will also be a boat trip out to Iniskea Island on Saturday, June 18th. Let me know if you would be interested in coming on that, as places are strictly limited. There will be a charge for the Inishkea island guided tour of Euro 40 per person.

A Great Weekend in West Mayo

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Barry Murphy

Last weekend was excellent fun. I led guided walks on The Mullet on Saturday and Sunday, treated myself to the Ceathrú Thaidgh cliff-top walk on Sunday and completed the wonderful Glendahurk Horseshoe in the Nephin Begs on Monday.

You’d never know, but the fabulous weather we’ve been having to date might just as quickly come to a shuddering halt in an Irish summer, so better to take full advantage while it’s going !

Floral highlights of the weekend included the many orchids now in bloom, the strange Ragged Robin, St. Patrick’s Cabbage at 700 m altitude and the stunningly beautiful Common Mallow.

Fauna of the weekend included one Fox, several Hares, fantastically aerobatic Ravens and one solitary Golden Plover. Unfortunately, no Seals were spotted at Erris Head, but you can’t always be lucky.

Erris Head - A guided walk of Erris Head (with another guide, not me) takes place, as part of Féile Erris Beo, on Sunday, June 20th. Contact Erris Tourism, on 097 – 82292.

Ceathrú Thaidgh – I will guide a walk of this cliff-top trail, also as part of Féile Erris Beo, on Thursday, June 17th, beginning at 6 pm. Again, call Erris Tourism, on 097 – 82292.
