The Curlews and the Bricklieve Mountains

It was a sense of "déjà vous" today reliving the weather of Day 1 and the incredible scenery of Day 2. We had incessant rain but that failed to dampen the spirits and the walk through the Curlews and then the rather steep incline up the Bricklieves and then descending into a glaciated valley was so beautiful. You will have to capture this scenes yourselves as it is too difficult to give it justice in words and the weather wouldn't allow for much camera usage.
Our leader was Phillip, chairperson of local walking club and Carla and Paddy made up our group. Our host for past couple of nights,Veronica and Ivan at Lough Gara Lodge have been wonderful in looking after all our needs.
It proved to be one of the tougher days at the office, all up some thirty something kilometers, with a variety of terrain and "dampish"!! conditions but as I heard Paddy remark "It was exillerating"
