Expedition

Too tired to write a full entry, so such 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 started to cry and abandoned 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 exhousted (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 :).

Here you can hunt pigs, cows and if you're lucky you can even shot a tractor!

Loch Bhaile, I'm really proud of this picture :).
Surprise, surprise, it's a field once again.

Walking here is rather hazardous.
