Just wait til ya get this side of the border

Which border?

 

[Jockser]

I bet you got faster...

I honestly don't know. The Quest had a hissy fit & needed a master reset so all data lost, inc. my tracklog

And so it's time for a few more pics

Eyries, not your normal dull streetscape :

I figured we'd missed church earlier so this was gonna be our salvation :

But no, some of the sinners were seen disappearing in here :

And then, after a some liquid refreshment, the final run into Allihies :

Sunday morning, dry & bright (the day, not the bikers ) :

The local 'hard men' :

Down at Dursey :

The Dolphin Visitation :

Heading back up the Beara :

Oh, I'm sure your Mammy's very proud of you sonny

And on towards Kenmare :

That's the Atlantic Ocean although it looks like a mill pond :

Still at it :

And that was the end of Richies Run. Thanks again for a cracking weekend
Next year's already pencilled in

All these fabulous, fantastic photos with water in view - has there ever been a ukgser fishing expedition? I'm thinking salmon, trout or sea trout.

 

[(RIP) Bin Ridin]

The photos are wonderful, it shows what a beautiful country we live in. I am going to stop reading the papers and just look at these photos!!

Just think of the health and safety implications

Nice spot to live :

i'm just Really gutted we didn't make this run.
the thought process went
from
naw - shouldn't think about it / Kesh was lovely / dont be greedy / cant afford it etc. etc.
to
hey - it's not far / not long / not a hassle / maybe..... naw! stop it Og.
to
. . . . . . .

to
argh! why didn't i.... i could've.... so we could've....

FECKIT! Og you

note to self;
NEXT time - "just do it"

 

[Jockser]

If in doubt :

"just do it"

Works every time (for me)

It was one of the best runs the Ireland section has had for many's a long day.

OK OG...

Now I'm a tellin with plenty of advance...

Next year in May... The Mizen head run... Ending, obviously on the Beara (I know it makes sense) I was so surprised by the number of people... Coming from such distances for a "one day run", how could I possibly not do another....


So talk to Linda, program the mind..;, And see you next year
