well my plans to go a-camping on Tara this weekend and be there for the allignment on dawn 31st fell apart. But I still wanna try make it up there. Is there anyone who is going that way via Newbridge, Co. Kildare... actually i could make it as far as Dublin either if that helped, that could offer a lift? Will, of course, help with petrol money.

well, i made it up there in the end and saw THE MOST BEAUTIFUL dawn. really breath-taking. Light was very faint in the chamber, but was told that later on in the week it could be seen quite strong in the passage tomb. Spend some time with fellas that were camped out there for the vigil and spend the rest of the time sitting on the Sloping Trenches, being very wind swept and reading the Tain (and what a place to read it!). Didn't bring a camera, the big fool that i am, so I've no pictures for you. also forgot my house keys again, it's becoming quite a tradition at this stage, to find myself locked out on Samhain after coming back from Tara (must remember to forget then next year). So, for those of you who were saying i should post more, there you be!
