Ireland day 0382. Saturday 15 October 2022- Tonelagee DWC

Ireland day 0382. Saturday 15 October 2022- Tonelagee DWC
Today’s summary Led a group of six DWC hikers round my favourite Tonelagee loop walk from Laragh.   Took much longer than I expected – 7¾ hours – but fortunately we left relatively early so didn’t run out of daylight.   Weather was very windy with a very sharp shower as we approached the summit.  But superb views when it wasn’t raining.   An unexpectedly tiring day for everyone, but it seemed to be well received.
Today’s weather Sun with squally showers. Gale force westerly wind, possibly even stronger later in the afternoon.   About 11C in the valley, much lower on the top.
