**********************************************************************************

*****************************************************************
I will now start a new section in my blog, really I should start a 
new blog but as many people are now in the habit of clicking into the existing blog I will stay with it. I hope that it will show people who live outside Ireland the beauty of Sligo - Leitrim  and for those of us who live here to open our eyes a little bit more. This is best viewed as a slideshow, click on the first image then view as slideshow, use your keyboard arrows to go forward or back. Please check back regularly as I will update often.


I have more Sligo Leitrim Images on my website and the website images are available for instant purchase by download. http://www.caminogallery.com/galleries/?id=8

Dartry Mountains Sligo - Leitrim, Ireland

The Dartry Mountains are a range in the North West of Ireland, where I live. Yesterday I walked part of them. The best know peaks of the them are Benbulben, Benwhisken and Truskmore. They border the counties of Letrim and Sligo.  The range is a large dissected limestone plateau. Glaciation has given it its distinctive shape.

This is not a photographic record of the range, but I will add to it on an ongoing basis. This is just a few photographs from yesterday. I started at Luke's Bridge walked on to the plateau then turned slightly in the direction of Benwhisken to pick up the top of the Gleniff Horseshoe. A lot of the walk was on a natural balcony giving amazing views. From there towards the old Barytes Mines then over in the direction of Kings Mountain overlooking Glencar Lake then back to Largandoon and back down the Bog Road to Glencar Lake. A nice four hour walk.
