A Road To Nowhere

This is the Old Military Road a couple of miles south of Glencree, Co Wicklow taking us to  the Sally Gap and sometimes disappearing in the dark clouds which often overhang this wild mountain region.  We're traversing a bleak and desolate land through never ending peaty bogland with the Lower and Upper Loughs Bray and the lofty cliffs terminating the ridge of Mount Kippure on our right.  It always seems to me that here, we're on a road to nowhere.
