Get out there, be a tourist

DON’T use the weather as an excuse. Get out there, says Donal Hickey

Get out there, be a tourist

There are probably more people enjoying the outdoors during the August bank holiday than at any other time. At the time of writing, the forecast is for sunshine and showers. Bring rain gear and, if necessary, suitable footwear for Ireland is there to be enjoyed whatever the weather. And the countryside is even more beautiful after rain.

Sometimes it’s good to imagine yourself a tourist in familiar place and to try to look at things through a visitor’s eyes. Long-time personal favourites are West Cork and Kerry, with the Burren and Clare also right up there.
