As I stood there at the old thorn tree I reconfirmed to myself the spiritual value of the open mountain, the running stream, the heather clad hillside.
I thought about all those with whom I had hiked, down the years, in rain and wind, snow and sun. This is a sacred trust.
So let us continue.

Yesterday I did a 7.3 mile hike on the Keenagh Loop walk. Very enjoyable, boggy in a few places, but generally a fine walk. I had a moving average of 3.1 mph that was good. Took a few nice Pictures and include one in Gallery, it is an isolated thorn tree way up the valley of Glendorragha. The stream that flows from the mountain has no map name but loops in a 5 mile journey to join the Crumpaun river at the foot of Nephin More. The views of Nephin and the north east were excellent. The sun shone and all was well with the world and me.

Yesterday Friday 6th March 2009 the Croagh patrick Heritage Trail was officially opened. It was a special occasion for many who had striven to put this 55 kilometer hiking trail in place. I include some pictures in the Picture gallery that describe it better than words.
Next weekend 14th 15th 16th March 2009 there is a hiking festival planned around the trail. For me that will be the real launch.
