Monday March 31st 2014. Galtee Mountains
Looking at the Galtee Mountains through sticky windows, heavy with the breath of living beings. Wondering if I should brave the burning lungs and aching limbs to stumble over loose stones and pain before dragging bog heavy boots and legs to look upward at cloud covered danger. It wouldn’t be my first time into the cloud and hopefully it won’t be my last.
I suppose the only things stopping me now are the 16 stones and lack of motivation as I sit behind the safety of a computer screen trying to fool myself into thinking that I’ll definitely do it “tomorrow”. Oh the joys of being me. The attached photo I took some time ago with a Pentax x70 bridge camera. It shows the splendid Galtee Mountains from the Mitchelstown to Ballylanders road.
