A few pics of the 13th Wexford Venturer Section in action in the Comeragh Mountain Range, County Waterford, Ireland. |

Crotty's Lake, first stop. The beautiful Crotty's Lake, nestled into the mountain side at over a thousand feet high. Not the easiest place to get to, but a good pitstop to allow for aclimatising, and of course...grub! |
| Lunch time in the hills! Barry and Brian rustled up some hot grub to keep the energy levels up! |
 |
 |
Almost at the top! A view from the last stop before reaching the top. As you can see, we have breached the low cloud line at this point. |
|
At a cliff top over looking Coum Iarthar and surrounding countryside. As you can see, it hasn't taken a feather off of us....not! At this stage our lungs were jumping out of our chests! |

Cilff top overlooking Mahon Falls Thats a pretty sheer cliff were perched on. You can make out a road in the backround below us and the Mahon River to the left. From here we did a rapid descent, something only for experienced mountain hikers. |
|
Approaching the cliiftop at Mahon Falls for the rapid descent. Again Mahon River and the road far below us. |

Altitude sickness - a case study! Gary, a common feature on this site, falls victim to the curse of high altitude hiking. Here he does a stirring rendition of "The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music", believing not that he was a member of the Van Trapp family, but Julie Andrews herself! Things got ugly when he tried to make clothes for the rest of us out of Adrians Gore-Tex jacket!! |
