    Walked the legs off myself at the Ballyhoura walking festival last year but climbing Galty Mor and looking out across the Golden Vale was the highlight of the weekend, that and enjoying a feed of pints afterwards back in Kilfinane!

    E35 for a walk last weekend is a total rip off, the meal hardly cost more than E5, as there was no transport involved i fail to see how the charge can be justified, was going to head to the galtees when i heard it but decided to grin and bear it. But never again folks, the Celtic tiger is dead and buried
