As you may recall, this is the planted beech tree forest in County Westmeath. We like to get the dogs out for good walks every Saturday and Sunday, and I walk them at the mall daily during the week. We decided to go back to the beech forest to see the snow and to hike to the highest point of County Westmeath - and it was a gorgeous day! These first shots are from the top point. It's quite a steep hill - but it is the lowest high point of any of Ireland's counties! I think I read that it is about 258 meters high.
It is an amazing view. The rocks are what's left of a cairn. This one has never been excavated as far as I can tell, and has clearly fallen down.
In the distance you can see Lough Sheelin to the north.
I always dress very attractively for our dog walks....
Didn't realize Stee had taken so many "butt-shots"! Still, the surrounding forest is so pretty, why not post 'em anyway?!
