You lucky things!!!

Nice one, would love to be up that high only hitting 50metres
Makes you think how much snow we could get in Ireland if we all lived a fair bit up
1000metres would be pretty much snow proof in the northern half

Poxy sleet....

Lovely stuff Mountainy Man.

I love living up here but it has its pros and cons , beautifull views, clean air, wildlife ect. but the weather can be cruel and unrelenting wind and rain, storms are worse up here , growing season is quite a bit shorter , the need to tie the hens to bricks for fear they end up in Leitrim! (I jest!)

I wonder where the higest dwelling is in Ireland?

Weathering

Probably Kerry seeing as it has the highest mountains,or even Wicklow,Donegal or Down
I'd love to buy it anyway ha
