Castlegregory, Easter 2004
This Easter Mary and Eamon were very generous to host us in their house in Castlegregory, Co Kerry in the extreme south west of Ireland. Its a great spot for the mountains, cycling, surfing, windusrfing and swimming. I took these photos over the three days I was there, before racing back to Dublin and an early flight to Munich on Tuesday.

These are pretty much in chronological order. On Good Friday (9th April) there was plenty of wind so the windsurfers were out in large nubmers at the "Dumps" in Castlegregory.

We had a barbeque Saturday night and there was good sunshine Sunday morning. I went surfing at Gowlane with Conor and there was another barbeque that night.
