Thats the one

Unfortunately it works too well
On a completely unconnected topic

myself, DaveR & Marcus had a short, but enjoyable run across the 'gap' last night. Starting from Old Bawn we headed up Killakee but for a change took the first right which goes all the way down to Bohernabreena Road & then back up the adjacent valley to the 'gap' road - nice roads but the amount of rubbish dumped at the side of the road was unbelieveable

lots of beds / mattresses, doors / windows, building rubble & old clothes. Dirty barstewards
After a short stop by the wee lake we carried on via Sally Gap (the road down to Roundwood was still closed) to Laragh - stopping only to watch 2 deer running off up the hill - for a cuppa & a chat.
By this time darkness has fallen & this curtailed any attempts at Dave's track or Glenmalure

Marcus decided he wanted to head home via Roundwood while myself & Dave carried on over the Wicklow Gap to Hollywood where we parted.
Weather was beautiful , particularly after what we got on Monday evening

with very few cars around except a number of parked cars with a single male occupant visible

Perhaps their girlfriends were all tired & had her head in his lap for a little snooze
Next time I suggest as early a start as possible to maximise the time before dark - even with the auxillary lights a GS's light output is pretty cr@p for riding along sheep / deer infested mountain roads after dark
