Packing bike for a weekend under canvas in Aherlow. Weather looks suitably mixed.

    Good call! I have an idea to head up to Giants Causeway for the weekend.

    Aherlow is beautiful. Find the Foot Bar and have a pint, or if not Moroney's in a small town (Lis-something) past Bansha.

    Spotted Moroney's alright. The owner is a bit of a character, but responsible for the local forest tracks so a man to treat with respect when you want to take 24 large motorbikes over the local trails. The Glen of Aherlow was spectacular from the top and the bottom.

    BTW, coverage for O2 within the Glen of Aherlow is next to useless.

    @dbannon Yup, the Moroney's are involved in the walking scene up there.

    Every year we (amateur radio - we provide them with communications on the side of the mountain..it has helped save alot of people so far) go and help out with the Glen of Aherlow Walking Festival.

    I don't know how/where ye go, but yeah, the mountains are beautiful. When you have good weather...you're blessed.

    You can see some photos from this years Walking Festival here: http://www.esyurl.com/api

    And about O2 coverage...yeah, its not the best for phone coverage..hence the VHF radios :)
