  • Cycle Holidays, Ireland
    Lambs, Calves, and Puppies On the Open Road Cycling in Ireland by Irene Middleman Thomas Ah, to be sure, it took me a trip to Ireland to learn that I was born a “masher.” John Heagney solemnly shook his head as he told me this and said that he too was a masher. John, the owner of Cycle Holidays Ireland, should know. Operating scores of cycle trips over the past eight years throughout the gloriously beautiful western coast of Ireland, John is an avid cyclist himself and knows a masher when he sees one. “A masher uses the high gears, but pedals slowly,” he explains. Good for the heart, but not for the knees. And so, on my Irish cycling tour, I learned how to spin and use the full range of gears. My knees, after five days of thirty-plus miles cycling per day, were grateful! Travel writers learn early on that ‘charming’ is a no-no John notes. word — overused, trite, etc. Yet that is the first and most As a nervous novice, I had decided to go on an organ - apt word that comes to mind when describing western ized tour with an experienced operator.

  • Site Synopsis
    SITE SYNOPSIS Site Name: Maumturk Mountains SAC Site Code: 002008 The Maumturk Mountains are situated east of the Twelve Bens and west of the Maumtrasnas, between the Inagh Valley and the Leenaun/Maam road in Co. Galway. The site is bounded to the north by Killary Harbour and to the south by the Galway/ Clifden road. Most of the mountains exceed 600 m in height and about half of the land within the site lies above an altitude of 250 m. In addition many rivers criss-cross the site. The main bedrock is quartzite in the south, which forms impressive cliffs but little mineral soil, and shales and slates in the northern area, which weather more easily. Bands of metamorphosed limestone (Lakes Marble Formation) occur at Lissoughter, Maumeen Gap at Knocknagur and Maamturkmore. The site is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) selected for the following habitats and/or species listed on Annex I / II of the E.U. Habitats Directive (* = priority; numbers in brackets are Natura 2000 codes): [3110] Oligotrophic Waters containing very few minerals [4010] Wet Heath [4060] Alpine and Subalpine Heaths [7130] Blanket Bogs (Active)* [7150] Rhynchosporion Vegetation [8220] Siliceous Rocky Slopes [1106] Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) [1833] Slender Naiad (Najas flexilis) Wet heath is widespread within this site on the margins of areas of blanket bog and on the lower slopes of mountains where peat depth is less than 1m. The vegetation is typically dominated by Purple Moor-grass (Molinia caerulea), with Cross-leaved Heath (Erica tetralix) and Heather (Calluna vulgaris) locally sub-dominant. Other frequent species include Tormentil (Potentilla erecta), Heath Milkwort (Polygala serpyllifolia), Many-stalked Spike-rush (Eleocharis multicaulis), Bog Asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum) and the sedges Carex echinata and C.
