Andrew and I attempted to join a hillwalking group to go hiking, but upon arriving, we discovered we weren't appropriately dressed--no jeans or sneakers allowed given the bog and wetness. Thus, we went on a walk near Marlay Park--You will see there is area where some clear cutting had been done--not sure on the reason behind that. You can see the sea in the panorama view. Andrew is standing near a typical stone wall that goes along many of the road ways here--just on the other side were a herd of sheep. You'll see at the top of the hill there was actually some snow on the ground. We saw several people walking dogs here and a few groups of boys running to the top--wearing shorts! The tree is actually a fake tree which doubles as telephone pole. There were three in total in this area. We had walked by them since we arrived and not notice it at all until today!
