    Not really, I had acclimatised well though, was in Chamonix, and Gran Paradiso the week before, weather was really unpredictable this summer though so softer snow made tougher going somedays.

    That's the tower above the outlet of the upper reservoir of the Turlough Hill pump storage scheme.

    Most of my outdoors pictures tend to include my girlfriend or our dogs.

    I was thinking that but because I couldn't see the sandy beech, I was doubting myself.;)

    I must head up there again soon, its a nice spot. The last time I was there, I didn't follow the road up towards djouce and just went for a cycle on the track between the two lakes.

    That's it, with the cliffs of mini Lug' to the side.

    There was a few boats in the water that day but the village didn't seem to be up yet. May be back on there this weekend so I'll have another look then. :)
    Walked from Ballinastoe that day, I'll be driving up next time as it'll be with two friends that aren't into walking as much as the views. Haha

    Why do you refer to the Luggala cliffs as 'mini Lug'?

    (I am having a slow day and just overly curious) ;)

    Because there are two mountains in Wicklow with names starting with Lug. One is big and one is small? (only guessing here :))

    Yeah according to this there are 14 Irish Munros. The highest 12 are in Kerry (all except mt Brandon in the MacGillycuddy's), then Lug and finally Galtymore
