Made it. 7.8 km with very littlet 12 km traffic. Called to the shop for snacks. Bit of a northerly wind which is fine for get out of Schull harbour. We turn left and head east for about 12 km. In theory. .. #Kayak#WestCork

Sit on kayak on the shore loaded up and ready to go.

Who wants to come along in an impromptu wee adventure? Off on my bike along the main road to pick up a kayak. All going well it starts here and should end here… #Bike#Kayak#OctoberFirst#WestCork

My bike on a pier with the estuary behind. It’s low tide.

The sun is out but a still a little cloudy. 

About 8 km cycle ahead to start.

The western end of Horse Island seen from sea level as the sun sets behind us. And 📷 2 for scale. 🛶🌊 📷 #Photography#Monochrome#WestCork#SeaCliffs#Caves#Kayak

The western end of Horse Island ‘sits’ on the  rolling swell as the tide recedes into the evening.
In the previous photo there’s a plateau on the profile of the island. Just visible from that distance are some caves. This is one of those caves below the plateau with a kayaker at the entrance for scale.

The rock strata has formed in near vertical sweeping lines, almost at ‘1 o’clock to 7 o’clock.’ If you like.

Good morning from about 900km north. Cantabrian Sea 🤝 Irish Sea 📷 #Photography#WestCork

A early moon rises over Horse Island and in to the blues and pinks of a sunset sky. The same colours reflected in the sea along a silhouetted coast line.

A wooden bench above the tide line looks out towards Crookhaven.
Otter poop on the wooden bench. One of three parcels left to reserve this seat.

The Hair Hang. ‘…with proper technique, a full head of human hair could eventually hold between 5,600 kg and 8,400 kg (12,345 to 18,518 lbs)’ #HairHang#Performance#Circus#WestCork#Loosysmokes#TensileStrength

Screenshot describing the Hair Hang: 

Many people underestimate the tensile strength of hair. A single strand can potentially carry a weight of up to 100 grams (3.5 oz);" in theory, with proper technique, a full head of human hair could eventually hold between 5,600 kg and 8,400 kg (12,345 to 18,518 lbs) without breaking individual hairs or pulling out any follicles. [citation needed!
However, the strength of a bundle of strands does not necessarily need to be the same as the sum of the strengths of each strand. Morever, the act still hurts, especially for new performers.
Two performer, Lou (upper left) and Imogen (lower right), both wearing identical red dresses. 

Lou is suspended on a rope by her hair with one knee on a chair she’s holding up with her suspended about 10 feet off the ground. 

Imogen is on the ground her hair pulled up towards the branches also by rope.

Sunrise, dog, bike, dip, coffee. Not all mornings start like this, but when they do, they do. ☀️🐶🚴‍♂️🏊‍♂️☕️ #WestCork#SeaSwim

Small pier at sunrise with a dog and bike silhouetted against the sea. A small boat moored nearby and islands on the horizon
A tall tree towers above an old stone arch bridge glowing in the sunrise. All of this is reflected in the calm waters of a rising tide.

"It's not the same as feeling the pain", she explains, "It's like transportation - I go to another world to enable the suspension." - Lou Lou, Mimi & Imogen perform ‘Knothead’. #Ballydehob#WestCork#Photography#Performance#Circus#Loosysmokes#Knothead#ElaineMcCague#HairRaising#CultureNight
