    Love this snippet from http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/health-family/sore-head-after-the-football-there-may-be-a-cure-1.2691937
    In the paper, titled “The effect of alcohol hangover on the ability to ride a bicycle,” the sunlit uplands of medical research were further illuminated at University Hospital Düsseldorf, where 71 “test persons” were recruited to get drunk and then ride a bike while hungover. But this was soon reduced to 70 when “[O]ne test person had to be excluded from the evaluation, as he secretly kept on drinking an unknown amount of alcohol after 11pm for an unknown period of time.”

    Lashing out is not the way forward, Beasty! Forget UKIP!

    “Concludingly, it can be stated that the post-alcoholic state after consumption of high amounts of alcohol implies negative effects on the ability to ride a bicycle . . .”

    I noticed this these negative effects going up Horn Head this morning after a bit of a late one last night. It's a pity the IT didn't print this useful information a day earlier

    It's hard enough going up there in a car! I've headed in that direction a few times on the bike but something keeps drawing me away from making that turn. Fantastic scenery on a good day all the same.

    Taken from the irish which is Corrán Binne, which translates as Crescent Peak or Cliff

    Sheephaven I'm not so sure about, but think it's Cuan na gCaorach, which is exactly the same as the english

    Is it a harbour? That's the original meaning of "haven"; like Copenhagen.

    EDIT: Looked up "cuan", and it does mean "harbour". (I'm sure HarryBelafonte knew this, but I didn't.)

    I spent a few summers in the 1970's in a caravan in Port na Blagh. Great times and memories. :)

    Lovely part of the country and great for cycling. Took a spin out to the Rosguill Peninsula earlier and hope to do a spin round by Errigal/Glenveagh tomorrow. Any other suggestions?
