Murrisk, Ireland

Murrisk, Ireland is a small, sleepy, quiet, coastal town/ Village on Clew Bay, north Ireland- NOT.





Well, it is small and quaint, but it is at the base of Croagh Patrick; Mount Patrick; Irelands Holy Mountain. ... The mountain St Patrick climbed, stayed 40 days praying, came down and drove the Pagans out of Ireland -- making/ declaring Ireland to be a Christian nation.

Murrisk Pier rd... across the tidal bay.

We walked around some to Murrisk pier.

 If you are thinking of climbing Croagh Patrick... I advise you to stop and say a prayer here before you undertake this.




I have read that a million pilgrims a year climb Croagh Patrick.



Our day was somewhat light with a few dozen climbers.



This is not for the faint of heart, so before you think you are going to just ditty-bop up the hill read all the Croagh Patrick posts here, Croagh-patrick-3-begin-ascent-its-go time     , Croagh-patrick-summit   , and here Croagh-patrick-descend  .


In "The Saddle" overlooking Clew Bay.


You never drink twice from the same stream. 

Just because you wander doesn't mean you're lost.
