Hello! - Here's some photos - a lot of you (if related to me) will recognise the later pics - you should find that clicking on each image will allow you to see a full-sized version of each picture.

View from top of a hill somewhere between Rosslare and Kilkenny, first day of the holiday. |
| Stopping for a rest between Longford and Galway |
|
|
Boat headed for the arran isles attempting to dock at Doolin, day after the storms and the floods. Father Ted country. |
| The Burren - a bizzare limestone landscape on the West Coast of Ireland, setting for Father Ted comedy series, and quite pretty, as well as being full of Yanks! |
|
|
The cliffs of Moher - spectacular 200m high cliffs rising out of the Atlantic, luckily it stopped raining for the ride back from the West to the East coast of Ireland |
| Another view of the cliffs, from the top of a Victorian viewing tower - what did the Victorians ever do for us anyway? |
|
|
The mumbles by night - for a daytime shot, see the top of the page! |
| Caswell bay, as viewed from Bishop's wood. This was the walk where I got V. Sunburnt! |
|
|
Some chick walking down a hill through the woods - the huts are still there (in Bishop's wood) despite an attempt a few years ago to have them removed. |
| Robin redbreast on the walk from Caswell to Langland |
|
|
Langland bay - the tents are gone, and the Langland Court hotel is now derelict, the Osborne is now a set of luxury apartments, as is the Caswell Bay hotel. However, the tennis courts, golf club, and beach huts remain, and Langland looks the same as ever. |
| Ilston Church - nothing's changed here at all.(Unless you're very old) |
|
|
Three Cliffs Bay - we walked down from Ilston to here - stopped at Shepherds to purchase a drink and some biscuits, then sat on the cliffs below Pennard Castle to munch. |
| Someone insisted on taking a picture which ran the risk of seriously damaging the lens and camera generally! Bit too warm for motorbike gear that day though. |
|
|
View of Swansea Bay from Town Hill (just round the corner from Pant Y Celyn road - for those who know it!) |
| Finally - Uncle Alfred's garage, now a Motorbike dealer - I approve of this appropriate use of a valuable piece of family heritage. They even sell under-seat sized bottles of chain lube!! |
