Kirk Michael to somewhere near Peel – 23rd September 2022
A lovely sunny day and there is hope that I can complete this.
No cliffs and no high work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Hopeful face. Back at the bus stop in Kirk Michael.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Old railway line path to start – nice and level.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Going down the last but one glen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
An alien monolith dropped from space or, the old bridge pylon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The picnic tables here do come with a lunch option, you just have to reach out and snatch it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You don’t say!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back on the shore of sorrow, but only for a mile or so.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Much more pleasant with a gentle wind off my starboard quarter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The way is blocked so leaving the beach forever. Peel in the distance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Goodbye cruel desolation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The MRCA gather for their morning prayer meeting. The two on the bottom right are colluding to bring down the current madam president. (Mother Rabbit Christian Association)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The way out of my last glen is by way of this helpful little bridge and a small tarmac road.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Another one. It just looks like it was dropped in the middle of nowhere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The track is now grass which is lovely but still soaking from yesterday. The airport security folks are going to love my manky boots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Peel. It is always nice to come round a bend and see the target that much closer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Oh! No! Cliff hugging ram has sneaked down to the lowlands to get some strange and spread his evil genes even further.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Must have been tiny, tiny trains. No graffiti. The youts are too lazy to climb up this far. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A glen and we’re passing it by. Swoon!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Has a nice little beach though. Wonder if Sid’s about or if he’s too busy at work with Shelia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Ok. If you’re just going to stand and stare at me, I will get my camera out and take your portrait.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Still lovely grassy path. Feet adore it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Where I came up from the cliffs yesterday. Raad ny Foillian complete.
A bus just passed me 400 metres back and I was tempted to stop it and get on. But for the sake of an hour, I’d rather do the 400 metres and not let it haunt me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Pride in the completion face. Now, what will I do for an hour?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Walk some extra miles into Peel so as not to get cold and stiffen up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The townees know how to protect their women sheep from the cliff hugging ram, they keep them close and in jail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A quick shower. Leaving Peel. Just time for a snap of St. James’s church in ruins. An allegory for the fate of all religions in my book. Loving the sneaky pride bench – must cheese off the vicar. Goodbye.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
