 Approaching Saddle Head We arrived in Westport in time for breakfast having driven through the night from Dublin Port. It was 8am. Nowhere was open for breakfast until 9, I remembered we were in Ireland. There was an hotel open so we went in for a coffee and a quick planning session. As we sat scouring the weather forecast, tide times, charts and maps a senior chap came in and ordered a Jamesons, swiftly followed by two other patrons wanting a Guinness and a Magners. It was 8am on a Saturday morning in Westport. The forecast for the next 48 hours was such that it pleaded for us to start our circumnavigation of Achill Island immediately. We bought some camping gas and a pair of sunglasses from www.portwest.ie (who gave us a welcome discount) and we set off for Achill. We called in on cousin Anne in the Valley, immediately tea and sandwiches were produced. After a good tea session we headed off to Dugort strand, on the north side of Achill. After a thorough kit faff session we were ready to go around 15:00. We left the truck at the ever-friendly Strand Hotel. Our first camp was at Lough Nakeeroge, the lowest lough in Ireland, and possibly the most remote. The tide was close to it’s low and so revealed the beautiful silver sand of Annagh Strand. A great place to land. We set up camp between the Atlantic and Lough Nakeeroge, made all the more special when an otter passed by our tent and plunged into the Lough.  To get round Saddle Head and Achill Head we needed to leave at around High Tide. What we hadn’t really factored in was that at high tide the silver Annagh Strand was covered, we would have to launch into dumping waves from a boulder field. This turned into an interesting challenge, and the “make or break” moment of the trip.
The swell was big around Saddle Head, but the wind was negligible which made for a fun trip around the imposing Croaghaun cliffs - the highest sea cliffs in Europe. We pulled into the magical Keem bay for lunch around about 13:00. Here we bumped into cousin Colin, Maria and Erin - we hastily arranged to meet for some drinks when we had finished. We realised it was Easter Sunday and pulled out the mini-eggs that cousin Anne had given us. Katie ate most of them. When it’s sunny in Keem bay you inevitably relax, we eventually pulled away at around 16:00. The wind had picked up and clouds had come in for our crossing to Dooega. We landed at Ballyhawny Harbour (near Dooega) at around 19:30 after a good workout in the wind. Easter Monday, through Achill Sound and back to Dugort. Our tidal planning for this section was crucial and we couldn’t have planned it any better, a very enjoyable final day of our circumnavigation of Achill Island. After a few Guinness on the Monday night in The Annexe Inn, we paddled over to Clare Island and carried on our circumnavigation theme in rougher conditions and very dramatic coastline. A wild island worth exploring. After a few days rest and surfing at Keel beach we then completed a horseshoe tour of Clew bay from Rockfleet Bay to Louisburgh taking in Westport and a summit of Croagh Patrick on the way. A fantastic trip out west. Photos of the trip here.

I had given up on ever getting cured of HSV2 because i have try many treatment none of them worked out for me, i have gone to different hospitals and they always tell me the same thing there is no cure for herpes. when i came across a post about Dr Osazu in the internet from a lady called Angela i contacted her and she reassured me with his herbal medicine which i took according to the way he instructed, that how i was cured. I doubted at first because i have been to a whole lot of reputable doctors, tried a lot of medicines but none was able to cure me. so i decided to listen to him and he commenced treatment, and under two weeks i was totally free from Herpes. i want to say a very big thank you to Dr Osazu for what he has done in my life. feel free to leave him a message on email [email protected]

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Priest Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I'm here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Priest Meduza.

My husband just woke up and decided our marriage was over. For a few months now, Mark and i have not been going well because he was having an affair with his assistant at work. I loved my husband so much and decided to stay and work on our marriage. In a short time, Mark stopped coming home and his close friend told me he has another apartment where he live with her. I was hurt and went on seeking for help because Mark was different from the man i married 10 years ago. Luckily, i found Dr OGBO who promised to return my husband back to me. He performed a reconciliation spell and he returned back and now we are both happy again with our boys. If you have issues like mine, send Dr OGBO Email [email protected] or contact him on Whatsapp +2349057657558

I acquired my first home at the beginning of the year. To some, lottery players appear ridiculous, while we view it as a chance for an improved future. I'm known as Megan Taylor and I have played the lottery for ten years, yet I haven't won anything substantial. In my pursuit of understanding how to win better, I was advised to consult Lord Meduza, the priest who provided me with the precise 6 numbers that helped me secure the Mega Millions jackpot of $277 million after using his spell powers and following his guidance. Lord Meduza services is top notch, and I believe your dreams aren't finished unless you decide they are. Contact Lord Meduza the priest, and he will assist you in realizing your aspirations..

Being the winner of a multi-million-dollar lottery certainly is a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts and I want to use this medium to tell you how I became the famous Powerball lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Dr. Odunga would make me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Chief Dr. Odunga at Email: [email protected] and WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top

I am a Michigan lottery player, and before my breakthrough, I always wondered how others managed to win because it felt impossible for me. Everything changed when I connected with Dr. Alaska. At first, I was hesitant because of things I had heard about spiritual work, but I decided to give it a try. He carried out a powerful prayer and guided me through the process step by step. After I provided the required materials, he gave me special lottery numbers the very next day and explained how to play. I followed his instructions carefully, and to my greatest surprise, I won a $1 million Powerball jackpot the next day. I was overwhelmed with joy and couldn’t wait to share the good news with my wife and children. My name is Brian Bauer from Washtenaw County, and this experience has truly changed my life. If you’ve been struggling to win the lottery, you can also reach out to Dr. Alaska at [email protected] or WhatsApp +233277283626. You may be surprised at what can happen.

I was convinced after using the numbers provided by DR OGBO when I told him I wanted to win the lottery because of the post I saw online about his winning numbers, he said he has helped a lot of people and I won't be an exception to that, he put in work for me after I provided the necessary Information he requested from me, after then he gave me the numbers to play after 24hours and directed me on how to play and when I should play them which I did, I won £5.2 million pounds, I'm excited that my dream has come through, Dr OGBO is the best when it comes to winning the lottery with spell and prayers Email: [email protected] OR WhatsApp +2348110968476 thank you

I wanted to share a personal journey with you all. A few months ago, my marriage hit a breaking point, and despite trying everything, advice from friends, family, and professionals,nothing seemed to work. I felt lost, I tried several love spell casters and I got no help after I had already made payments, I felt this was going to be my fate until i got the services of this spell caster , she was everything I needed and I really poured out my heart to her in tears .After reaching out to her, everything changed. She provided a compassionate, judgment-free space and used her expertise in spell casting to address the underlying issues in my relationship. The results were incredible: within 24 hours of her intervention, my husband reached out to apologize and ask for a second chance. Leave a Reply. |
