Benbulben today - a tough challenge

Storm Atiyah was not due until tomorrow but high up on the Benbulben plateau this morning it felt as if it had rushed in ahead of time. Strong winds reaching almost 100kph were experienced. The 10 brave troopers battled on to reach the Trig pillar which was found quickly in spite of visibility being down to less than 100m. A retreat to the shelter of the cave at Cartonwilliamoge was prudent to enjoy the lunch. All down safely in record time. The heavy blanket of fog which enveloped the entire mountain remained firmly in place, leaving the views to be seen on another occasion
