Just been round the Dingle peninsula or part of it.. we crossed over the Connor pass amazing 360 veiws - back over Dingle - a pretty if packed with tourists town and in the opposite direction the summitt of Brandon Mountain with clouds weaving around. The pass down the hillside was alarmingly narrow in some spots and we had to stop for Dr Fred to explore a roadside quarry. Down to sea level to climb again up as far as the road would take us up the mountain. The following day Dr Fred left at5.30 am to begin his ascent of Brandon Peak... a climb hes waited 30 years to complete. I stayed snug in bed until glorious sunshine forced me out for brekie, a tidy up, a read inn the sun and a short walk up the hill.
I spent most of the day painting and reading, just up the hill was a grotto with statues of Mary, Patrick, and someone else I couldn't work out who... I sat there and sketched for a couple of hours the sun was shining it was very peaceful. Other intrepid persons wandered by... chatting and passing the time of day - I watched them go and return (not all went to the top and back) and wondered where Dr Fred had got to... at about 2.00 he arrived back slightly disshevelled but triumphant.... two ridges scaled and a host of fantastic panaramic photographs.
