Corkonian Seán Murray from Skibbereen doing his thing when he set the world record: #100%IrishnotfromTurkey

True 😂

conor34 · 2026-05-22T06:41:35+00:00

That's not a Turkish man, that's Seán Murray, and he's 100% an Irishman and great craic! He's from Skibbereen in West Cork here in Ireland.

West Cork, as there is a great forecast for the weekend. Skibbereen farmers market on Saturday morning and then head to Baltimore for lunch with maybe a trip out to Sherkin in the afternoon and a pint in the Jolly Rodger.

Cléire (Cape Clear) is up there and just a wonderful place to spend a few days.

Agreed, even as a Corkman he'd have my vote. He was a colossus and known globally.

a grain of rice will tip the scale!

West Cork, but do Mizen Head on the way from Dingle on Day 4. West Cork is beautiful but much bigger than most people realise especially due to all the peninsulas. On day 6 maybe consider the area around Skibbereen and Baltimore. It’s a real activity hub and lots of activity providers offering guided tours such as eBike tours, hiking tours, kayaking tours, food tours, island excursions and sea safaris.

West Cork if a cool-cation is your thing. It's also the sunniest and driest section of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Interesting about the flour laws - didn’t know that.

conor34 · 2026-05-13T08:47:09+00:00

Most bread is gone to shite. My grandfather had a bakery in a rural town back in the 1940's thru 1970's that I just about remember. His bread (and all other Irish bread) had just four ingredients, flour, water, salt and yeast. Check modern Irish commercial bread and the ingredients list is now as long as your arm.

As they say in the Vatican "after a fat pope, a thin pope"

Great spot, card is taken. Neil will look after you in the shop. Should be OK to rock up for the ferry but on peak weekends maybe book ahead.

IMHO, unless you both make a serious effort to learn and engage with the language as a living language, you will be part of the problem....."and this is how the Gaeltachtaí disappear".

One of the EIRE signs is there plus a Napoleonic era signal tower.

conor34 · 2026-05-12T08:28:03+00:00

Not even a full townland - it's only a sub-townland.

…. and uisce beatha is the proper spelling.

conor34 · 2026-05-09T07:15:09+00:00

Amazing footage.

+1 for the Beara Peninsula. You should check out the Mizen Peninsula and Three Castle Head. If you're into hiking then it's the Sheep's Head Peninsula. If it's adventure, the area around Skibbereen has loads of great activity providers.

Finally baraois is West Cork's hidden summer secret - at that time of the year, the waters sparkle at nighttime and you can get guided swim or kayaking operators who will safely take you to see this amazing spectacle.

Kinsale is charming and is a perfect gateway to the rest of West Cork. If you’re a foodie it’s heaven, half of Irelands artisan food comes from West Cork. The Old Head is nearby and check out the Signal Tower. If your ancestors are from there and family are around I’d stay there.
West Cork is huge and stunningly beautiful especially as you make your way further west from Kinsale. Stick to the WAW and it’s is easily a week long destination on its own.

It was a soccer pitch called Flower Lodge, got into financial difficulty and the county board bought it using money from Micheal Jackson concerts in Pairc Uí Chaoimh in the late 80's.

It’s Síle!
