  "Wow What a Week with Walking Women" - "Wow What a Week". I just returned from West Cork Ireland where I spent (1) week with Walking Women hiking along the Sheep's Head Way. Our Guide Clara... read more was highly skilled, precise in advice, meticulously prepared, and flexible given some weather-related variables. The accommodations at the Bridge View House B & B and restaurant in Kilcrohane were terrific, including great cuisine/robust menu, responsive staff, and deep local knowledge. The Sheep's Head peninsula was stunning and not crowded. In closing, I had been to Ireland on 3 prior trips driving around the island, but this was the first time I spent a week in one place hiking, resting, reading, learning, and engaging in long conversations. A special thanks to Walking Women, our talented hiking guide, and the dedicated staff of the Bridge View House B & B.

I’d been apprehensive about carrying a backpack with all my stuff but... read more took Walking Women’s great advice on kit and minimalist packing and, at 67, was delighted to find I’m stronger than I thought.
