The plan was to head up way north into Donegal and - since it is a long journey - sleep in the car, so I could stretch the trip in to two days. Once I'd gotten as far as Sligo the road conditions deteriorated rapidly, the snow and ice causing everyone to drive very slowly and carefully. I headed for Beltanny Stone Circle because it gave me something to aim

You may have read, in my previous post, that the last time I visited the Wild Nephin National Park I had neglected to bring my boots. This time, however, I had brought them with me, and I'd also brought my friend Murray. We set off along the Western Way trail towards a landmark called Altnabroky Shelter for no other reason than it appears on Google Maps and gave us something

Storm Eunice brought high winds but it also brought snow, so I headed for just north of Newport, County Mayo as the worst of the winds abated. My plan was to walk along Glenamong river on the edge of a forest and somehow head up the moutain range beyond to get to a lough on the other side. I'd planned it all out by utilising an OS map and Apple

There is a tree near Castlebar in Mayo that I've had marked out for snowy conditions for a quite a while now. It's on a slope, it's an interesting shape and it's on its own. Pretty much perfect.

However the light was completely flat and wasn't going to improve for hours judging by the thick blanket of cloud over Sligo. So I decided to move to a lower

I'd been closely monitoring the conditions in Sligo and I headed there on a day when I figured that I had the best chance of a bit of snow on the mountains. I planned to be at Strandhill beach for dawn to catch high tide. As I drove in I could see that the waves were wild and that there was snow on the Ox Mountains. I had planned to use

Landscape photographers love snow. When I heard the first reports of 'The Beast from the East' I was looking forward to the first proper snowfall in years. The initial reports were that the east coast would get the most snow and that Galway would possibly not be affected. Luckily for me (or so I thought at the time), I was going to a gig in Dublin on the Tuesday, with the
