Grey Mare's Tail in the Bluestack Mountains of Ireland. Went along the road to the ruins, then straight up the wide-open grassy hillside, along a stream/waterfall. It was steep enough to reach out and touch the ground in front. The ground was so wet that it gushed water with each step. The waterfall was beautiful. On top were some lakes, sheep and neat tufty bogs. The walk across the bogs was slow. Peggy and I circled left over a knoll and orienteered down an easier route across more sheep fields.

Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. Hiked the cliff edge then down the stairway to the Organ. Came back along the low road.

Hill Wood in Ireland near Kildare. Flew in the same day so Peggy and I were jet lagged. I ran okay but skipped an easy control again (#15) so Peggy beat me again despite that she ran slower and found the thorns w/o her gaitors. The course had lots of depressions.
