Best Salmon & Trout Fly Fishing Ireland - Shean Lodge Fishery Enjoy fly fishing for salmon and sea trout in stunning scenery complete with mountain views and rare and protected plant, bird and animal species. With 8 kilometres of double-bank angling over two distinct beats

A journey through the real wild west There is no break in the empty silence save the whimper of the winds. Not a bird voice is upon the air. Nothing but pasture and sheep and stone walls and the western wind and loneliness

My van broke down last evening on the N59. After several attempts to restart it and a whole mouthful of bad language I calmed myself down and thought "who do I call?" and "is there anything obvious that could be wrong". So I opened the bonnet and shone a torch all over the engine. Of course I had no clue what I was looking for and even less idea of what to do if I found it, but at least I was doing SOMETHING! Having found nothing I sat back into the car and lo and behold the engine started and continued for the remaining 35 kilometres on my journey! I was delighted with myself, I had no idea what I had done, but clearly I had fixed it!
My faith in my mechanical genius was further reinforced when this morning I sat into the car again and turned the key, the engine sprung into life and delighted off I headed , but 1/2 a kilometre down the road it stopped again. So I went through the same routine as last night and inspected the engine, only this time in daylight so I could at least see it. Once again on sitting back into the car the engine started. But my confidence in my mechanical "skills" had taken a little bit of a dent, so I changed my plan, and was relieved to reach my revised destination..... Walsh's Garage Kiltimagh, where my poor sick van will have to remain for a little while.
So thats my excuse for not using the camera today!! This image was made on Tuesday morning as the mist lifted over Ballycragher Bay.
