Tried standing in the water at the "beach" while Aoife attempted to swim. The water was colder than NZ glacier melt!

In Schull. Up Mt Gabriel from the western ridge with Eoin. We didn't make it right to the top, but could see it across the marsh and figured it was time to turn back. Time down was the same as up which was not expected. In the end the run up was blessed with lots of good firm grounds and nice runnable bits. Only got a wet foot once, and that time lost my shoe in the muck. Coming down was into a strong headwind and we just couldn't pick a good line. Lots of stop/start and avoiding mush. At the bottom we somehow ran across the grassy super highway whilst fighting gorse, briars and other yucky stuff not sighted on the way up.

Magnificent views on a stunning clear day - I don't think they have too many like this down here.
