Photo Rally 2013

Well I got a few more done on Monday and Tuesday.

I started off in Tipp.



And then off to Cork



I called in at Beal na Blath



I then took a more scenic route





I was feeling tired so needed a bit of refreshment, ah sure you'd have to!



Tuesday started off doing the Healy pass.



And on to the Kerry pic



I then went via Molls Gap



And on to Bruree to see Dev's cottage


It was open and the two lads working there were very nice, I was able to wander in, and have a cup of tea with them.

Then off to clare, via a circuitous route.



I felt like another cup of tea so.....



Two great days out and 654 miles. Another great photo rally this year, looking forward to seeing the rest of the points. Thanks again Gerry and Lorcan.
 
A grand old spin Damien.
You are clocking them up.
 
Kilcooly

This information arrived today: -

we've been at Kilcooley Abbey today to take the picture for the Rally.
We ended in front of the locked metal gate (next to the pedestrian
gateway) and took the picture.

While in the process a car approached. Turned out to be the groundskeeper of the Abbey. He told us that some folks were driving around the grounds of the abbey with cars apparently, leading to the gate to be locked from today on.
He was nice and kind and was totally ok with us taking the picture and said he'd let us on the grounds if he had the key with him.
Just wanted to let you know that the photos from the Abbey might change slightly now, with limited access to the green.
 
I got 2 more done today myself , #5 and #6. 220 miles in total with only a few spits of drizzle along the border.

That leaves 1, 2, 3, 4, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 left for me to do.

I have a plan to do the Connaught ones and the Donegal one in 3 weeks time with an overnight stay in The Beach Bar on the Sat night the 13th.

Found quite a few interesting new ones of late too. ;)
 
Wild Rose rally in Valentia island next weekend, idyllic setting, smaller and maybe a better session Friday night, this rates at one of the better rallies of the year, not a big rally but its one of Ireland's better rallies, try make it Aidan, ill be the fellow in the "Hymer Davidson" :augie
