The trail development there through Mount Metal has been incredible.

There's beautiful waymarked trails that lead all over that karst, beautiful landscape that is the burn.

And then you can stop in the little towns that are dotted along the way for your coffee, for your snack, just to kind of stay a bit more comfortable than really heading out into the wild.

Absolutely can.

There are local links.

Now, they might not be as common as maybe some other countries in the world, but the local link does exist.

The Greenway does exist.

So biking and walking is a great way to see Westport.

I've headed out without a car myself before I got my car.

I did Crowpatrick.

I hitchhiked, but that might not be the best way for large groups to kind of be dependent on that.

But I landed into Westport.

I threw out the thumb and someone was heading out the one road west that goes past Crowpatrick.

Maybe it's the curly blonde hair and the smile on my face.

I don't look too intimidating maybe with a thumb out.

I hope not anyway.

That's not the look I'm going for.

But I've had great experiences all over Ireland hitchhiking.

I got a car very late in life.

I was well into college before I got my first car and I didn't let that stop me kind of seeing the country.
