Reek Sunday

One of the stalls on the summit of Croagh Patrick – on Reek Sunday, it will be in full use, with drinks and snacks for sale for tired and hungry pilgrims. This picture was taken at Christmas 2 years ago.

Yesterday was Reek Sunday, when thousands of people brave hypothermia in the middle of summer to climb Croagh Patrick in co. Mayo. I gave it a miss this year – still recovering from the fun I had 2 years ago.
