Mind the Gap

After we hiked around Fort Dunree yesterday, we drove through Mamore Gap to Carndonagh, where we had lunch.

"Near the summit of Mamore Gap a number of holy relics can be found – a holy well devoted to St Eigne and a small alter of statues are the centre point of an annual mass held here every August 15th in commemoration of Penal times when people had to practice their religion in secret to be protected from persecution."

Then we went to the beach at Culdaff.

Ian is very chatty and we had a great time talking about politics and environmentalism and local history. He was the perfect chaffeur due to his sunny personality and local knowledge. He writes a blog about container gardening and, on the way home, we stopped in a forest for him to harvest some bright green moss for one of his gardening projects.
I can’t remember the last time I had a more perfect day.
