Rosenallis, the only town in Ireland named after 2 women, Rose and Alice lol

Roads very slippy, You may need snow-chains near Glenletter, The Cut etc.

I have a bit of shooting there too
I've walked/stalked most of the blooms too.:D

Yep, i am living in the Slieve bloom mountains and its bitterly cold tonight with a dusting of snow, the real problem is if it snows over night as its perfect temperature for sticking. Roads are treacherous particularly the road from Clonaslee to Kinnitty or Tullamore. No gritting has taken place including the last bad spell, pot holes already forming!

Could you do a map screen shot of the area your on about Dusty? The waterfall sounds nice.
Grand for a nature stroll once the weather picks up in the Spring maybe

Home of the Late Joe Wisely, Them places are very bad with any snow as he roads are narrow and never gritted. in ordinary frost they are dangerous, never mind snow

very very true, bad roads alright. i tell ya i am well sick of this weather.

tfox

Cheers guys

Not gonna go down, roads are bad enough but the landie cruise on , but to be honest with such hard frost would make so much noise not really worth it. Leave them alone in this hard weather

the doe and calf i saw looked fairly thin, i walked in on them as they were crossing a track. they stayed lookin at me for what seemed like 5 min. def not as alert as they usualy are up there, they would usually be gone like a hot s$$te
