Another possible paint-out location would be the forest park in Dun na Ri - is it near Kingscourt ? we used to go there walking many years ago growning up in Louth but all I remember was being shouted at for getting too near to the edge as there were some very steep drops but you know I risk all for a good photo !

Nice one Norah,Love the dappled lights.

Dee I tried to add this to Seans blog from Virginia but it wont allow comments so put it here, nice dappled light ! Sean making his video in Bluebell woods in Virginal last saturday,  Think you could re-name the group "Tain" as that covers a wider area ! Photo from phone so bit blurry !

Nice one Norah.  Good p; point about Boyne and Kildare.

[Norah Blount]

If you want to expand your horizons, the River Boyne rises in Kildare (near Carberry) so here is a some info I found about those nice canal areas from Moyvalley near foley's pub to the Royal Canal Amenities Centre (RCAG) at Leixlip Co.Kildare (also the home of Guinness)
