Just finished my Sunday run. Today I drove to Keeper Hill in Co.Tipperary, just outside of Newport. This was another great day for running. Not too warn but sunny and a clean fresh breeze. The run starts and continues uphill for the first 6.5 to 7 km, from 200m to over 600m rise. For the first 4km the run is through forestry but once you clear the forestry on a good day great views of Limerick, Tipperary and Clare can be seen, just like today. The assent took 45 mins flat today and the decent took 30 mins. This is definitely one of the more difficult runs on the IMRA Munster Wednesday league.
The 2 pics below were taken today on top of Keeper Hill, enjoy.
I've included below the IMRA page on Keeper hill if anyone is interested in trying it out them selves.
