The Annascaul 10k Run, Abha na Scáil, Kerry, Ireland - 5th August 2017
Whilst chatting to someone about the two donkeys and Alpaca near our cottage in Lios Póil, Isobel got the word that there happened to be a six mile run (or 10k as runners like to call it because it sounds further) in the nearby town of Annascaul. Which was handy, as Isobel fancied a run anyway. It's not that long to wait, so Nosher and the boys poke around a bit until Isobel finishes, then it's back to the GAA club house for some squash and super-salty but abundant sausages on sticks. After the running, we stop off at Inch Beach - an epic long and wide sandy strand which you can even park on, which is kinda cool. Finally, we stop off in Dingle for a spot of tea.
