Now that's what I call a 'breakfast'. Needs a couple of rounds (at least) of thick toast + some marmalade and copious cuppas to finish it off though.

What's happening Wacks, I'm out of the loop on this one?

This was my second day in Ireland with a little bit of mountain exploring with 'cooks tours' wink

his mission was to get to the top 815 metres (ASL)hidden rocks, heather, grass, plus some bogs but Olly made it and I tagged along muttering what the heck am I doing biggrin

met a couple of rambiliars at the top and they were very friendly and amazed we made it up, took some pics to prove it back at the B&B as they thought we were on mountain bikes, well sort off wink

LOL - hope the injuries don't spoil the riding Wacky!

A good tip is to take Ibuprofen in the morning to relax muscles and sinews so that the badgers don't bite so badly wink

Did you forget to avoid the bright green and red mosses in the bogs?  no

Have they got Wifi at the B&B now????

These pics were from the other day and last weekend, the bog pics are nothing like being stuck, I've been stuck in up and past wheel spindle height plus doing loads of entertaining riding for the others to watch ;)

Made it to the top of bean mountain today bloody hard work especially when I lost the bike down a 4 foot hole lol 

Amazing day biggrin
