Yesterday was fabulous in Kerry, so I took the afternoon off and headed to the MacGillicuddy Reeks ( my back garden.... ).This is a picture of the Reeks which have the highest mountain in Ireland

There are two passes in the mountains, this is Ballagh Beama ( no Beemers there yesterday....)

The mountains are so beautiful, can't help but lift the spirits and put a smile on ones face....

"The mountains are so beautiful, can't help but lift the spirits and put a smile on ones face...."
Wise words indeed

[ChrisH]

I think it borders on a Zen experience, Lord Vader! A bit like you and the light sabre, maybe????? Man and machine in total harmony...I must say some of the Welsh roads also inspire this feeling..... probably a Celtic thing!
Guided tours of the Reeks free to all XRV members!
