I tried to reach Calliagh Beara's Lough http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]978/callaigh_berras_lough.html again yesterday, the bottomless lake on top of Slieve Gullion, but we were beaten back by a blizzard. It was a tad risky and irresponsible, but I had memories from my last time there and found the call irresistible. I mentioned to my companion that I may never come here again, and that it would be worthwhile. She was sceptical, horizontal snow stinging her face, but I wanted to rest beside the lough one more time. Within 100 metres of the water, 'sense' prevailed and we turned back, making for the shelter of the passage grave we had departed from, re-tracing our boggy steps. I knew that the moment we entered the tomb that the storm would abate, and so it turned out. Seems the cailleach didn't want any visitors yesterday.
