Lugnaquilla




Today we hiked up Lugnaquilla, the highest peak in the Wicklow mountains. Either the GPS watch or those satelites it follows were playing up hence the impossible elevation profile. We all got thoroughly wet but enjoyed it none the less.  I traveled barefoot only once on grassy terrain as my feet are suffering from several splits despite various attentions.


Steep ascent
 

Tiffin

Art's lough mid distance and the Irish Sea on the horizon

Then the cloud came down followed later by drizzle

Somewhere between these two pictures we made it to the summit where it was in the cloud and wet and cold and windy so we left after stuffing ourselves with chocolate and mini cheddars.

Serious descent!

We contemplated swimming but...
