Sunday 27th - One Down, Five To Go

Today saw me take a quick excursion to visit some sites on one of the few OS maps where I currently have a zero site count. THis took me to the area where Galway, Mayo and Roscommon come together.

This was not a trip of great sites, but not every trip can include a site like Kilclooney More (County Donegal). With no key site to visit I tried to mix up the types of sites visited and surprised myself at the range I managed.

To start April off nicely next weekend I will hopefully head for west Limerick and north Kerry - a trip that will allow me to visit sites in an area covered by four OS maps that I haven't previously been to.

One small comment on today's images. I accidently set my camera to -2 f-stops, so they're all very dark. I will have to enhance them all before putting them up on the site and don't think they're going to look too good when I've done them.
