Connemarathon.... here I come
Hi Katy, welcome.

I'd dearly love to do the Connemarathon. I've thought about suggesting to the RC team that we should take a party over there one spring. My family are from Mayo, just to the north, but I drive through Connemara if I fly into Shannon -- and it's a superb place.

I've climbed up Croagh Patrick a couple of times, and I may well do so again this coming week, if I have time during my trip. At the top of CP, you have a staggering view over Connemara in one direction, and, if you turn to the other side of the summit, an extraordinary vista of Mayo, Achill, and the hundreds of tiny islands across Clew Bay. It's a sight to die for.

Maybe next year.

Maybe next year, I'll do it for me Ma. Good people of RC -- pencil it in. It's usually in late March.

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
