Video of climb up eastern edge of Slieve Mish Mountains, south of Tralee.


On the way into Killarney I cycled passed Killarney Golf & Fishing Club. Opposite the entrance was a massive billboard left over from the Irish Open in July congratulating Darren Clarke and Rory McIlory on being the current holders of the British Open and US open respectively. Who would have ever thought that over the last year wee N.Ireland would become the super power of golf (this includes Graeme McDowell). Congratulations lads very impressive....hope you can win more.
