An Buachaill Etibh Mor. Pretty impressive mountain and one of the rockiest I saw around here. It looks even more impressive because it's surrounded by flat valey:

Photograph of the trip I think. Look at the way the sun reflects off the rocks:

Leinster winning the Heineken Cup

Pity it wasn't Munster, but a great game nonetheless and great to be at game live!

Glasgow Cathedral

Worth visiting Glasgow Cathedral if you're ever in Glasgow. Quite nice ...

Ben Nevis

We couldn't have picked a worse day to climb Ben Nevis. Wet, windy and generally miserable. The top was fogged over, but, as I was told, this is nothing unusual even for a good day in Scotland. The mountain was 1300ish meters high. Quite a lot of people were training for the mountain race the next week ... lunatics ... I couldn't imagine running up the thing ... at least not in this state of fitness :-)
