part two of the walk!
we stopped for sandwiches on a bench shortly after visiting the Cloughmore Stone. our view was down onto Rosstrevor, and I found some mushrooms
after lunch we headed up to the peak, and both the path behind us and the peak ahead of us was thoroughly shrouded in cloud
by the time we reached the peak itself the initial wave of clouds had cleared enough for us to see it
but the view back down was definitely there and gone again!
today I climbed slieve martin, in northern ireland, and it was brilliant. the first part of the walk went like this:
the base of the trail was pretty, and there was a very clear path upwards. note the retelling of the legend of Fionn Mac Cumhaill on the sign, anglicised for us poor tourists, of course.
we followed the path up to a viewing point, where there was a neat bench with CS Lewis quotes on the back and we could see ireland across Collingford Lough (as opposed to northern ireland, where we are - good job, british colonisers, you gave an island DID)
from there we carried on upwards to the Cloughmore Stone, supposedly hurled there by Fionn the Giant
