Ross Castle sits on the edge of Killarney’s lower lake and was built by O’Donoghue Mór in the 15th century. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park . Legend has it that O’Donoghue still exists in a deep slumber under the waters of Lough Leane. On the first morning of May every seven years he rises from the lake on his magnificent white horse and circles the lake. Anyone catching a glimpse of him is said to be assured of good fortune for the rest of their lives. The large rock at the entrance to the bay is known as O’Donoghue’s prison. Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652.
Ross Castle is open to the public during the summer months. Details from Ross Castle, Killarney, Co. Kerry

This feels soooo good! This is one of my favourite techniques from the world of structural integration (of which I have many). The eccentric contraction of the muscles along the side of the spine combined with the slow, deep pressure helps to not only free up restrictions but can also give you sensory feedback to move into parts of your spine that don`t move so freely. We all have parts of the spine that we have blind spots to, for many athletes it`s the lumbar spine (low back) to which they struggle with going into flexion because many are stuck in extension, this helps to free up the soft tissue around the low back so that the spine is able to explore those ranges of motion more easily. This technique is not only good for athletes though everyone can benefit from a spine that is able to move more freely.

"Not all who wander are lost." Exploring the stunning Killarney National Park and hiked the long way to Torc Waterfall. We went hiking up huge hills only to later discover that there was a parking lot right near the waterfall. 🙈 Oh well, exercise is good!
This sweater is from theshirekillarney - a huge thank you to them for hosting the 2nd #WeekendWanderlust party during #TBEXIreland. Amazing Lord of the Rings themed bar, awesome beer & food, plus the live music was excellent! Check out my stories for more details ✌

I heard the Ring of Kerry was gorgeous, but nothing can prepare you for the beautiful terrain you will come across. And within that beauty is a rich history.
We ventured off the Ring of Kerry to the Skelligs Ring and discovered old castle ruins and forts. This is the Lecanabuile Stone Fort, surrounded by sheep and the countryside.

This was just great to watch!
Iggy scored high marks with John and Noel Kissane, even though she has never worked with sheep like this before!
Iggy was born to two working parents and the natural herding instinct is there to see. They complimented her barking too, as that helps drive on the sheep even better!
When travel restrictions are lifted, please check out and support John and Noel`s open days at the farm.
Thanks a mil for the invite guys!
