On the return journey, stopped at Cleggan harbour
to talk to fishermen and directed to a depot for shellfish in one of
the far corner of the coast. The family business buys them off fishermen
and deliver to France or Spain every week. Bought 3 lobsters for
neighbours and 2 crayfishes for ourselves. Very hard to buy crayfish as
they are rare and most are sold to overseas buyers.
The coast line around Cleggan and around Letterfrack is idyllic and pristine, so beautiful, especially on a clear day.
Then cut through inland to reach the motorway home, The boggy land cannot support farming, only occasional sheep/goats. Huge expanse of open landscape with mountains at the far distance, and rivers flowing pass.
