We headed to Kerry after Coderdojo, annoyingly got held up in some rally traffic around Killarney. Johnny left his car at Cronin&#8217;s Yard, where we picked him up before heading to &#8220;The Head Of The Gap&#8221; on The Black Road. By 3:30 we had set off up the boulder-sprawled slopes of Drishana. From Drishana, we headed towards our first mountain that was worth points in the championships: Cnoc na dTarbh. From there, we headed on in the same direction to Cnoc an Bhr\u00e1ca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default
