Even sheep get wet feet

The day started with heavy showers and low hanging clouds. Still we set off for a nice walk in the woods hoping that the rain would subside. And it did for a while. So we strolled through a nature reserve near Glengariff  with moss-covered old trees and a river winding its way through the thick vegetation.

Just as our guide (Hello Martin!) took us the ten minutes to the next walk one of the heavy showers set in so we had to have our picnic in the bus. Still we were determined to do the trip to Loch Dereenadoradia. We put that raingear of ours to good use and headed off. The Irish Weathergod plagued us with wind and water but still we prevailed and fought our way through thick rhododendron, mud and slippery stones until we finally reached our destination. Yeah! Bring it on!

Just when we turned to go back to the bus the rain stopped. Try again irish weather, hahaha.

There is an abandoned little settlement just in the thicket hidden from prying eyes. Beautiful place!
