light house with the sheep in the pen |

 |
| A
smaller fort, Dun Eochla, with the strongest defense walls of the whole
island |
|
 |
| Back
over Dun Aengus to enjoy this unique point of view, especially since the
last CB flew away and the sun is with us ! |
|
 |
| Inishmore
airfield where we took off a few minutes ago |
|
 |
| The
Air Aran BN22 is still there. Difficult to say goodbye to those islands
of Aran, but we are expected by the flying club in Kilkenny |
|
 |
| Over
Inishmaan. The 'middle' island only houses 200 inhabitants, and is probably
the quietest and most remote. The first hotel was open only last year. |

Chonchuir, the most famous fort of Inishmaan |

do you like my postcard ? |

 |
| Abeam
Inisheer, the smallest island, we embark on the fifth sea crossing of the
trip (but only for 10NM to the coast) |
|
 |
| Heading
towards Kilkenny, a grass strip in the south east of Eire. We are done
with the big unfriendly airfields with long paved runways such as
Waterford and Galway. |
|
 |
| We
filed the VFR flight plan with Shannon, took only 10 minutes before the
flight. We'll keep in touch with Shannon Control to cross the heart of
Eire |
|
 |
| with
a CAVOK (according to local weather standards !) |
|
 |
| CAVOK
in Irish meaning the sky's clear on at least one third of the horizon ! |
