It’s been a mild winter so far so it was nice to get up to a blanket of snow over the landscape. With the new track, it was a lovely opportunity to take a slightly different walk. As it was the middle of the day it wasn’t remotely cold.

Although recently it’s been quite busy in the forest thanks to the new track, I had the place to myself for a change.

Although it’s been quite a while since I’ve updated this place, I’ve still been wandering the roads around the mountain and elsewhere although I’ve since broadened my activities to include running and cycling. I’ve even gone back to the passtime of my misspent youth and taking up scuba-diving again.

But, amongst this array of activities, Ardagh mountain has been a constant in my life. I still walk up there three or four times a year and I still find it an important part of my life. With a new year, I’m going to try to get back into the habit of posting here occasionally when I have something vaguely interesting to say.
