bloody cafflics,when will they cop on?this sort of shit really pisses me off,littering bastards.
anyway,on another note,summer walking is nowhere near as much fun as winter walking,there's nothing better than trudging through a bog in the pissings of rain with no one else for miles.night walks are even better again,went on one two weeks back,started out at nine in the evening and made it home at half four in the morning.eating chocolate cake by the side of a country road at two in the morning is sound.

That's just disgraceful. It reminds me of (to quote johah) horn death when seeing someone litter was just the biggest turn off.

isn't it just the worst thing ever?im forever sticking rubbish in my bag up the hills,irish peoples littering habits really really piss me off.
oh wait,i already said that,still though,the point stands,we're a nation of dirt bags.

Nice one pissy,walked a couple of those tinahely ones recently,really beautiful down there.Wish i had gotten out of bed early this morning and fucked off out to the hills.
Also,nothing against your man somerville,i do enjoy his articles in the paper,but surely there's an Irish lad who could write similar?

I'm not sure the Irish appreciate what we have in the same way foreigners do.

Any time I do the Frog's Loop up in Howth, I usually only ever encounter foreigners.



Doing Mt. Djouce this weekend.

Took a wander around The Scalp out past Stepaside. It was good.
That is all..

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

You take a look at the old mines behind the scalp?

 

[pissypants]

No unfortunately. Weather was shit and I was with family who wouldn't have been up for it. I'm gagging to go back and take a proper look.
