South Connemara, Galway, west coast of Ireland.

Type
Field meeting

Marine meeting. This field meeting will visit some old favourite shores (e.g. Dogs Bay, Lettermore) and some new sites. These will be mainly in south Connemara, but it is anticipated that there will be at least one day in the northern part of the area, and weather permitting a boat excursion to shores on one of the off-islands. It may be possible to arrange diving for anyone interested. The convenient spring tide times during the week enable easy arrangements for self-catering accommodation (Saturday to Saturday) in the Roundstone area where we will be based.
