This morning was a difficult call. Do we cancel the hike up Benbulben or not. The forecast suggested a rather damp day with light rain and moderate winds but mild. They got it fairly right apart from the "light". Decided to proceed with caution and not disappoint all those who had traveled long distance to participate.
I have to sincerely thanks 36 people who braved the elements and won out in the end when they could so easily have opted out. There was the odd slip and slide even at the front also. No one escaped, but all down safely in the end. Lots of happy faces although wet through. The constant rain did not dampen the enthusiasm and lots of intent to return and do it again albeit on a better day weather wise.
