Cork City Marathon Is Coming Up!

The Cork City Marathon is coming up again soon after an impressive debut last year.  Advertising is already up on Brian Boru Bridge and you can also see Michael Collins Bridge in the background.

I partook in that race but only as part of a relay team in a very small section!  I hope to do a longer section this year seeing as I’m entered in the Schull Triathlon a week later - this would be a good warm up event.

Getting Lost in Skibbereen

Having missed our turn-off to our holiday home this weekend, we stopped on the far side of Skibbereen to turn around and try again but not before stopping for a few minutes to take a few photos.  There’s something about old stone bridges such as this one going over River Ilen that always cries out to be photographed.
