Ahhh you see, it’s a little know fact that the native Irish mountain lion while extinct in the rest of the country for quite a number of years flourished in the mountain pass of Coom (Top Of Coom) up until very recently. Farmers stopped grazing sheep on the mountains around this area in the 60s, by order of the government, when mountain lion attacks were happening on an almost daily basis; an order which still remains in place to this day.

I always assumed that was just a myth to explain all those disappearing hillwalkers…

I’ve travelled on a few 4×4 trials over here that look like that
No problem if u’re concentrating and u’re truck is in good shape.
Not so much fun if its not or its really chucking it down (or snow/ice on ground) and getting muddy !!!

I have travelled on these roads..It is quite frightening. Especially when you have an oncoming car…You have to back out on the edge and both cars literally scrape by one another. I HATED the ride and I am bolivian…Plane for me please. My mother’s friends died when many a vehicle fell off these roads and plunged to their untimely deaths…
