I can go through Fairview Park on the Cycle Lane then over the East Link Bridge to Sandymount then on to Blackrock and Dunleary. You could not do this 15 Years ago but have to go into Town first then along the Liffy.<br />I would say about 10 Miles or 15 K to Dunleary. Did you ever see a Picture of the Man Sam Beckett, Waiting for Godot he is a bit Crumpled all right together with Milo O' Shea. The Bridge is supposed to be like the Irish Harp some say. We had a not very good Summer it was not Cold but Cloudy and Wet sometimes. So any time the Weather was good on those odd Days we tended to make the most of it. It was good up to July then went South.<br /><br />The Civil War was Tragic right up to the last moment Michael Collins Remonstrated with his former Friends, he even went to see them in the Four Courts before things started up and it was Shelled. I am glad you are finding the Blog interesting with Regard to Places in the Civil War.l' homme au velohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964877237998191937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743681369325966584.post-23698929683395863372009-09-14T21:56:59.219+01:002009-09-14T21:56:59.219+01:00Looks like a pleasant afternoon!

It looks sunnier than its namesake, I tell you what. <br /><br />I just read a book about the tragedy of the Irish Civil War and some the places it mentioned I've seen photos of on your blog!The Jolly Crankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413710628789759348noreply@blogger.com
