Carraig Burn, (is that the right spelling?), Count This photograph was taken by me when my fiance and i visited his home town in Wexford, Southern Ireland for two weeks last summer. We took our mountain bikes with us to Carraig Burn, which is a beautiful steep inclining hill, with beautiful scenery at the peak, and a great bikeride down again! (rather tough pushing the bikes up, but it made up for it with the panoramic view at the top of Carraig Burn, and the fun bikeride back down the bumpy pathways down the hill). This is the first of a set of a few pictures taken here on teh same day.. enjoy! xxx Uploaded by Pookie_Pie (163) • 2 years ago Tags: carraig, burn, southern, ireland, hill Pookie_Pie (163)
