Thursday 31st July.

I know I skipped over Wednesday but in truth there wasn't much to report on.  Today I achieved a goal which I have been thinking about for a while here in Kerry. I climbed Coomanaspic, which is an extremely large hill outside the village of Portmagee, myself and my friend decided to tackle it yesterday and we only made it up a bit of the way, today we decided to try for the Grotto which is situated quite close to about 3/4 from the top and once there we decided to climb to the top.

Such a great feeling to get to the top, I'm not sure how high it is, however, it is described as one of the highest places in Ireland to be reached by car and we did it on foot.  It was an endurance feat and we both felt great at the top.  Coming down was nearly more difficult as you are forced forward all the time and it was extremely hard on the knees. All in all it took us about 58 mins from house to top and back.  Not bad going for a couple of 'walkers'.  The image dosnt really do it justice.

Namaste
Marie.
