Winter climbing in the County of Donegal in the North West of Ireland is quite simply outstanding, alas it has a very fleeting window of opportunity. Due to it’s coastal position and relatively low lying mountains good winter conditions in Donegal are a rare commodity indeed. Usually temperatures have to be below 0 for 5 days consecutively, and down to -5 at night, and an ill timed dump of snow can spoil it all. To take advantage of these fleeting conditions you have to drop everything, and brave the inevitably appalling road conditions to get there, for be assured, it won’t last! When Donegal does come into prime Winter condition the crux of your days climbing will without a doubt be travelling by road throughout the county. In this guide I have tried to only use National primary and secondary roads as a means to travel and access. There are of course many regional and third class roads which provide much closer access to the mountains but under winter conditions these can very quickly become unpassable. The first recorded winter climbing I am aware of, was done in the Horsehoe Corrie in the early seventies and since then barely a couple of new routes have been logged anywhere in Donegal each decade since that! It was the winter of 2009/2010 that one of the coldest and longest winters in recorded history occurred with over 6 weeks of minus temperatures and snowdrifts of up to 12m in the Donegal uplands.

  • Dancing at Lughnasa
    1 Dancing at Lughnasa ACT ONE When the play opens MICHAEL is standing downstage left in a pool of light. The rest of the stage is in darkness. Immediately MICHAEL begins speaking slowly bring up the lights on the rest of the stage. Around the stage and at a distance from MICHAEL the other characters stand motionless in formal tableau. MAGGIE is at the kitchen window (right). CHRIS is at the front door. KATE at extreme stage right. ROSE and GERRY sit on the garden seat. JACK stands beside ROSE. AGNES is upstage left. They hold these positions while MICHAEL talks to the audience. MICHAEL. When I cast my mind back to that summer of 1936 different kinds of memories offer themselves to me. We got our first wireless set that summer – well, a sort of set; and it obsessed us. And because it arrived as August was about too begin, my Aunt Maggie – She was the joker of the family – she suggested we give it a name. She wanted to call it Lugh* after the old Celtic God of the Harvest. Because in the old days August the First was La Lughnasa, the feast day of the pagan god, Lugh; and the days and weeks of harvesting that followed were called the Festival of Lughnasa. But Aunt Kate – she was a national schoolteacher and a very proper woman --she said it would be sinful to christen an inanimate object with any kind of name, not to talk of a pagan god. So we just called it Marconi because that was the name emblazoned on the set.

  • Ardara Bays & Coast LCA 30 an Gaeltacht
    Ardara Bays & Coast LCA 30 An Gaeltacht Ardara Bays, Coast and Gaeltacht Landscape Character Area is a low lying undulating area with an open aspect, framed by the higher uplands of the surrounding LCAs and by a long and varied coastline indented by long sandy tidal estuaries. The area has a myriad of landscape types; the inland landscape is pre-dominantly bog and lake interspersed with fertile riverine agricultural corridors to the south following the Owenea and Owentocker Rivers and large commercial coniferous forestry plantations within the east. Agricultural lands along river valleys and in the hinterland of Ardara and Glenties are characterised by larger hedgerow bound geometric fields, at variance with the coastal farmland of a more open nature with historic fields patterns of note at Loughros and Portnoo. The coast extends from within the tidal estuary at Gweebarra bay, past Inishkeel island, around Dawross Head and into Loughros More Bay and estuary before following the shore around Loughros Point and Loughros Beg Bay and estuary. The Wild Atlantic Way extends through this area along the route of the R261, skimming the north coast that already has an established tourism and recreation base at Nairn and Portnoo. This area has been settled throughout history and many important historic sites and monuments remain, including Doon Fort, an island crannog dating from the 4 th Century, and the ruins of a 6 th century monastery and church on Inishkeel island. 156 Landscape Character types Seascape Character Units Map/list Seascape units Seascape Unit 12 and Seascape Unit 13 are within the Ardara Bays, Coast and Gaeltacht Landscape Character Area.
