okay, so more cliffs of mohr...

so basically, to go see this fantabulous place, we got up at the crack of dawn (literally!!) to get on a bus to see it,. and found out to our dismay that the visitor centre didn't open for another 30 mins, boooo, so we huddled under the awning as it began to pour, and whimered and made puppy eyes at all the people inside who wouldn't let us in!! ->











basically it was really really perdy.. and this was the road...with a sign i couldn't get a picture of that said "Bull, keep out" but we never saw this alleged bull so we figured it was okay.




past the big sign that says:
information which we of course ignored, cause that's where it started to get interesting!








<- the touristy shot of everyone who was with me (jon, meaghan, eileen, deidre, mb and moi) the cliffs from the other side (oooh, ahhhhh) ->








ooooh, look at how far down it goes.....and there are the cliffs from the other side...















pretty green cliffs, and there we are, the wee people! We were very fixated on the top of the ledge...our goal! i think we were having some kind of a powow or something, i'm not too sure...







i got a little excited about the pretty waves below. i coudn't get a good picture of it, but there was this HUGE cave with waves crashing and it was awesome!

and all of us checking oout the edge
(i kind of gave Deirdre an ulcer...oops!) and now as i'm basically speeiding you through my last couple weekends to get you all updated...











Climbing mountains!! (yes, i do this for fun....)
we basically just up to a farmer, asked him if we could traipse on through his lands and he said yes, so on we went.





and out of nowhere, literally,
a lake just kind of ...started...and one side was a little lower so it just ran down the hill, totally chill. anyways we kept on walking






through a bog. we got VERY wet and muddy, me and Rin are baddass ladies, only badasses get THIS muddy! SHUAH!
Checkit! there are alot more goofy pictures of us and meg when in the middle fo chewing etc, but i thought i'd spare allaya..







and then we just kind of..started on up the hill, and as you might be able to tell, there is NO path...whatsoever, just alot of scrambling over rocks.....
i felt a little mountain goatish.
It reminded me alot of scrambling around the redrocks at gramma....except wetter...with gorse..those suckers HURT!





aand, this would be the steepness of the cliff face that we were weaving across...and grabbing handfuls of weed and physically hauling yourself up the cliff face with....in the middle of a cloud bank...yeah, badass....
me and meg had alot of fun..hehe...they couldn't believe that
we were still smiling at the top of the mountain!


epically gorgeous clouds....we really were hiking in a cloud bank








<- and as my computer is really about to run out of battery, i leave you with the sad sadness as we came out into Kilkenny Forest, (theyre trying to replant them, it's wierd seeing trees here though!)
and i tried to make friends with the sheep....
but
the sheepies don't love me!!












that was my sad pouty face..apparently sheep aren't a big fan of being chased...
