The weather was not so kind to us today and as a result we had a somewhat wet and windy drive over a local mountain pass called Priests Leap> Local legend has it the the name derives from an episode in which a priest leaped from the pass to avoid capture. More factually though there are records of this name going back to 1600. The name "Priests's Lepp" is to be found in the Desmond Survey map of Glanerought barony, compiled around 1600.

We spent a wet hour of so in the nearby town of Kenmare wandering the colorful main street.
