    I just said it because I new it was in Moyne, which is 2-3km away from the nearest village, and this is not a guess the church thread (*drools at the thought*) :)

    Fairly sure you'll find that boat in a scrapyard, at best :pac:

    Niley, I don't think that's the Galway Bay in the picture. Unless it was another boat also named the same name. I remeber the Galway Bay with a smoke stack! Image of the Galway Bay

    Now I'm intrigued about what that vessel is in the picture above.

    I think we're looking at two different boats of the same name. Not my area of expertise though (either geographically or otherwise), so don't count on what I said :)

    Cheers for that Niley, I'd forgotten there was another vessel named that. So I did a little digging, and that vessel is now named St. Bridget and does Dublin Bay cruises. I have fond memories of the original Galway Bay, as well as the Naomh Eanna (laid up at grand canal) over in Aran.

    So the question is this: where was that vessel in the above picture laid up before being brought to Dublin?

    Right now - she's laid up for the winter in Grand Canal Dock :D



    In her former life she used to lay-up in Cleggan Co. Galway

    Briefly off topic if I may, but I wonder why someone requested that the other end of the ice house (?) was blurred out.

    No to Sugarloaf and Comeragh. I think I can say no to Ben Bulben, but that's not a hill I'm prepared to die on, so to speak.

    Edit: Arah, feck it, you may as well have Ben Bulben. Go for it, hook.

    One click left or right and it's not blurred. Guessing that it's a glitch in their algorithm

    Yup. Did quite well in the "Ireland's best landmark" tournament in the Forum Games thread the other week.



    They had up the road to the left there closed off for a couple of days for filming a couple of months ago. Apparently your w'an from the Queen's Gambit is in it. Ditto Nicole Kidman, but she's only coming in for the Malin parts.

    You used to be able to climb right down inside the side of the mountain into a "cave" in King's Mountain years ago - not sure if still accessible. Also, Diarmuid and Grainne's cave is off the Horseshoe, of course.

    Ah, apologies, I hadn't seen your valley post - I thought we were looking for Mayo or Donegal. Needless to say, my further searches were unsuccessful :pac:

    Mount Brandon it is, from Cuas (the Ballydavid side) St. Brendan the Navigator was supposed to have sailed from this little harbour to "discover" America. Tim Severn the adventurer sailed his replica boat from there to prove it "could" have been done.

    I remember my first week on my first full time job travelling to Ballydavid, it quickly became one of my favourite spots to travel to in Kerry and I was lucky to get to go there many many more times. (My favourite spot is still the drive from Killorglin down across Ballaghisheen Pass towards Waterville, I'm a fan of the barren landscape).


    Anyways someone else better post one up!
