For a bit of a change we went over to Derrycassin woods which is a nice spot in north Longford. The weather was reasonable enough although it was threatening to rain.

The big feature here at the moment is the bluebells which are a couple of weeks ahead of the Ardagh woods ones for some reason.

We had a grand walk – Derrycassin is very easy going with good gravel paths for the most paths and the rest of the paths are on dry spots so you don’t stand any real risk of getting wet or muddy. The bluebells aren’t quite peaking yet – they’ll be another week or so.
