What a great way to start December – with a delightful cycle along the lower Cork Harbour Greenway! Six degrees celcius need not discourage you when it’s sunny, not too windy and you are well layered up. We parked at the first car park east of Carrigaline,...

I’m sure you’ve heard of ‘pet days’? Well, during winter and early spring, when we can’t expect many warm days, we can always look out for the occasional sunny one. You’d be surprised how many there can be. Even apart from the...

There are many surveys reporting that people with electric bikes are likely to use them far more often than those with ordinary bikes. Yesterday proved that for us! You don’t expect to have a wonderful cycle on a mediocre Sunday in late November, and yet ours...

Accessed from Church Road in Douglas, Cork City, this beautifully redeveloped and extended pathway now goes all the way to Cherrygarth, with exits at Donnybrook, Berkley and Calderwood Road. What a wonderful amenity for all those living close to it! A lot of credit is...
