Keel beach, river to Bervie,
once shoed, once barefoot. I'd hoped to run up Minaun today but didn't trust my ass.

Surfed a couple of waves afterwards.

Archive photo, from the east end of the beach in the winter. The west end is sandy.

Around the north face of Slievemore.
Another favourite run, spongy, short grass and short heather, the occasional sheep path, views out over Dugort, Blacksod bay and beyond.

The north side of Slievemore is barren and uninhabited, visited occasionally by sheep. The nearest plant over two foot tall to this tree is a couple of kilometres away.

Stumbled a hundred metres before I arrived and, catching myself, twanged my butt/hamstring. It hurt. Picked up this prob in the MiddleQ, then it worsened a bit somehow during the relay. Here's hoping it heals soon.

An hour and a half in the Atlantic on one of Ireland's top surfing beaches. Caught some nice waves, loads of fun, first time doing it in a few years. Cold afterwards, warmed up a bit on the run from home afterwards.

Dugort Beach, Golden Strand, Valley Strand. Last two plus the headland barefoot, 25 minutes.

Does wonders for the soul!
