Slievenamon – Walking to the top.

The Walk up Slievenamon, County Tipperary
Irish landscape Photography : Nigel Borrington
The mountain of Slievenamon is about 15km from home, in Tipperary and just across the county border from county Kilkenny. Its Elevation is 721 meters and on a clear day offers good views of a large part of the south east of Ireland, including down to Hook-head on the Wexford coastline.
The pictures below are taken on a walk up to the top two weekends ago, it was a very foggy Sunday morning at the top as you can see. The mist only added to the wonderful feeling of being up there even though none of the best views where possible.

🙂 You’re welcome. I am truly jealous of all persons who can get up and out and walk around Ireland at any time of their day or night. 🙂 I look forward to your posts. (Thanks to Tric for leading me to you).

How beautiful. I thought of you over the weekend as we travelled across bog lands to Mullingar. All beautifully dismal and water-logged. 🙂

Seen lots of this kind of mist up on the Hills just lately from our home … some days I prefer it that way 😉
A very lovely walk up there it looks Nigel.

Great walk even though you can’t see much through the mist.
It (the mist) certainly makes for an atmospheric photo or two.

Such a serene and peaceful mountain, Nigel…….relaxing to grazing sheep and hiking photographers alike. 🙂
I love the gently curving hills against the level horizon.
Beautiful.
