This morning we headed out with a yellow wind and rain warning from Met Eireann. There is a feeling that winter is upon us.
It is always a difficult call whether or not to proceed under these circumstances. However we all agreed to give it a go and if required we could always turn back.
Up on top of the ridge the wind speed measured 90Kph. The north side of the plateau provided some measure of shelter so we rambled on to the Trig and out as far as the head in good visibility. There was not too many other souls about apart from a large group from the Wayfarers Hiking club. Not a day for the faint hearted.
The rain held off until lunch time. Ground conditions were extremely slippery and it was difficult to keep upright.
All down safely in good time. Well done to all 👏👏👏
