Still waiting..............

Whilst the rest of the country is getting back to normal after the excitement of the voting and election process over the weekend, here in Wicklow we are still waiting for all 5 seats to be decided. It's day 3 for the counters, and it looks like today will bring a 14th count and even then that might not determine who gets in and who is out!

In the meantime, life goes on for the Joe Soaps, back to work, yawns and stretches abound. Here in Homelink, we are on the final countdown to our trek on Friday night/Saturday morning. we are all looking forward to sunrise but not so much the 3am start........

Sunrise on Lugnaquillia, Wicklow Mountains

We're on the countdown to our first (of many) walking adventures. A group of us hardy lads and lassies are going hill walking. And not just any old hill, Lugnaquillia, the highest mountain in Leinster. The reason? To raise some much needed funds for Homelink with the added benefit of seeing the sunrise from this wonderful peak.

Considering the only exercise I have partaken in recently is from the couch to the kettle, I have a feeling I am gonna need some pushing and pulling to get up that mountain but it will be so worthwhile. I'll be taking lots of pictures along the way and posting them here so check back to see what happened.

In the meantime, I might just try some gentle walks over the next couple of weeks to prepare.
