OMC Trip to Ireland 
With Richard Moore, Nicky Creadland and Tricia Teeling, I drove from Killarney to the cable car (>2hrs). We got the cable car over the Atlantic to Dursey Island, then followed the track to far end of the island, just shy of the head, before returning over the 'summit' and past the napoleonic lookout tower. Then down to the track and back to the cable car, 4hrs all in, including the cable car journey in both directions. 
 Very windy, but dry thankfully. | chillyman8 | 15/07/2023 |

Not much to be seen on a misty wet morning but a good walk out and back and no queuing at the cable car. | chalky1953 | 21/07/2014 |
