Beauty that surrounds you...

We are experiencing a mini heat wave in Ireland at the minute and its glorious.. So on Sunday past myself and few cousins and their respective others decided to climb a mountain in our area called 'Leon'... The area had amazing scenery, you often look past its beauty, an area where it really shines on a sunny day.. It was once described by a college friend as 'Lord of the Rings' country!! So about 11 of us set of on our journey...bags packed with food for a BBQ and plenty of fluids to keep us hydrated.. There was alot of laughs, alot of breaks (mainly me) and alot of ooohhs and aaaahhhs at the splendid scenery that awaited us as we moved on our journey..

The above photo is from  the very top of Leon where this stone was erected..I'm still trying to find out when and by whom. We could see as far as Sligo, Mayo, Donegal and Roscommon... So after one too many sausages and burgers we made our descent which for me was alot easier than the ascent.. A day that I will remember for a long time....
