Over the Hills and Far Away


As i haven't been on any particularly interesting juants lately, i'm going to cheat a bit and go back a few months to September and share with you some photos of the top of the Knockmealdown mountains.


It's a bit of a trek, but well worth it when you reach the top.


I was a bit worried about taking our two doggies as they're getting on a bit, but they were really keen and after flaking out for a bit...


they were soon up and about and raring to go.


 Megs was looking out for prey and not doing a very good job at being stealth.




It feels like your on top of the world up there.


If you squint you can just see the sea in the distance.


You can see for miles. That's son no.3 taking photos of the view and...


this...


which is this.


Which reads 'Tipperary-Waterford border. County Waterford's highest mountain, 2,609 feet.



All that fresh air has given me an appetite, so i'm off for a cuppa and a bite to eat. :-)

Thanks for dropping by.

  1. Beautiful hills a little like our Longmynd hills in Shropshire - the dogs surely were having a great time - enjoy your week - Jane

  2. The dogs loved it Jane. I thought they'd be worn out the next day as they are both 11 now, but they were fine.

  12. It all looks beautiful, having to put the lights on all day because it's so dull at the moment is not doing me any good.. so it was nice to see photos of open spaces and blue sky's..

  15. Wow, you have some amazing scenery there! Just love the pics of Megs in the heather. :-) Do you get snow up on those hills in the winter?

    1. We seldom have snow over here, ( now i've said that i bet we have blizzards this year) but when we do it does sit on the mountains and makes them look a bit Apline. ;-)
