Walk in Maum, 28 June 2009

On Sunday 28 June I went on a walk with the Galway Walking Club, in Connemara, which is a region in the western part of County Galway. We started at the small village of Maum, and walked along the Maum Valley, and over the Mam Ean (or Maumeen) Pass. This is the site of a small chapel and shrine, known as St Patrick's Bed. Mass is held there every Easter.
