The Irish Coastguard Helicopter departing from the helicopter pad at the University Hospital in Galway (which just happens to be behind where I now live – there are going to be a lot of helicopter shots here in the future) after delivering a hiker that had been injured while taking part in the annual Maumturk Challenge yesterday. Today, the Galway Walking Club are climbing Mweelrea – the highest mountain in Connacht, and also the trickiest.
