Expedition
Too tired to write a full entry, so just a bunch of quick comments:
- The day was sunny and warm, so I decided to go for a walk
- I took a bus from Waterford to Tramore (on the Atlantic coast) and decided to walk home, on the way visiting hash
- I was supposed to use the map and my wits + crazy survival skills to reach the point
- my wits + crazy survival skills made me go west instead of north and I realized that after 2 hours and after walking 10 km in wrong direction
- Did I start to cry and abandon the quest? Well, there was some crying but there was no way to abandon as I was in the middle of nowhere ;-)
- I got to the nearest village (it was Fenor) and found myself on the map again
from now on it was easy (if tiring)
- a lot of baby animals: pigs, lambs, horses, cuuute
- I found a mysterious Irish lake, excuse me - loch
- I wanted to visit Knockeen Dolmen, as it was around 1km from the hash point - http://www.megalithicireland.com/Knockeen%20Dolmen.htm, but it was guarded by two big and angry dogs, so I just made a picture from far away
- After finally geting home I was exhausted (I didn't expect it to take so long - 7 hours in total)
- Checking my route on google maps revealed I made 23 km - my new record :).
The strand in Tramore.
Same place, looking to the west.
Bog of Fenor.
I had your uncle for dinner yesterday.
Here you can hunt pigs, cows and if you're lucky you can even shoot a tractor!
Loch Bhaile, I'm really proud of this picture :).
Surprise, surprise, it's a field once again.
Walking here is rather hazardous.
Knockeen Dolmen. Damn you, dogs!
Nice decoration.
I will have your uncle for dinner tomorrow.
