Bivy in the dark on the Aran Islands

I knew I was close to the water when I set the bivy up in the dark. I did not know how close...


...nor how substantial the cliff was.

County Claire, Ireland


The friary is a maze of stone walls, tombs, staircases... I would've loved to see it working. You can still see ovens, fireplaces, second floor layouts, etc... Amazing.
