| Here's the pictures from a trip to Ireland over Easter in 2003. The
main areas are Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Brandon and the Gap of Dunloe. All
in the SW in Co Kerry. There's pictures of the Reeks, Beenkeragh,
Carountoohil and Mt Brandon. A truly wonderful place to visit if you've
never been there. Click on a thumbnail for a larger view |

Scrambling on the upper part of the Faha (East) Ridge |
Bit of a path to follow in places |
More scrambling |
Now that's what I call a ridge! (Actually the path is off to the right) |
|
Upper part of Faha (East) Ridge |
Tim and Paul on the summit of Mount Brandon. A typical view from what I'm led to believe although if we'd stayed only another 30 minutes we'd have got a view |

Pilgrim's Path as it descends past the Paternoster Lakes in a magnificent setting. |
The path's so well marked you can't possibly get lost |
