For anyone interested what life was really like on the Blasket island back in the day i would recommend a book called "twenty years a growing ". An unforgettable read imo.
Ireland and the Irish people hold a beauty that can be found in any other country in the world, If you don't believe me then ask Phil Lynott the greatest rocking point of all time
The village is on the east of the island, this would have been the most sheltered part. I'd imagine the rest of the island is way too exposed, and it's very steep and hilly. Going there for the first time this weekend. Beyond excited about this, been waiting a long time.
