Well, I watched the tour of Ireland on tv here, or at least the final day. Rain. Reminds me of my own participation this year in the Pasadena Marathon, bike section, all in the rain. But fun anyway.
Where are the px from Ireland?

Did any of you take any photos? I wouldn't mind seeing some!

I hsould have photos shortly :

Digital camera memory card started playing up on me for stage 2 of the ToI.
I had to go in to a shop and buy a disposable camera!

So I've to take the roll of film from the disposable camera to the developers to get them processed................it's like something from the dark ages.

As soon as I get the shots back, I'll scan them and publish them here ---------- will take a few days waiting to get the shots developed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He packed on Stage 3 in to Cork.

St Patricks Hill was too steep for him!

As if us Corkmen were not insufferable enough, what with an All Ireland Final coming up an' all, Patricks Hill in the rain was too tough for poor oul Lance!
