Some Laois photographs.

I have barely been out on the roads or offroad for that matter in Jan/Feb. Now it looks as though I've caught another chest infection.
 The last chest infection put me off the bike for almost 2 months but hopefully this will clear up a bit faster. People seem to be spluttering and coughing everywhere at the moment.

 So because I've been using an indoor trainer and a power metre instead of being outside in the real world I've done a "lazy mans load" again and I'll just drop a few photos from around Laois into this short post.

Keep the wheels turning. 

Ballaghmore Castle, Laois. There's a Sheela na Gig on the outside walls.


Giants Grave, Cadamstown, Offaly. Fallen megalithic burial monument. Not quite Laois but close enough to the Laois border.


Poets Cottage, Camross, Laois.


One of the many medieval and early christian crosses and slabs at Clonenagh, Mountrath, Laois.


Fiddlers Rock Standing Stone, Glenafelly, Slieve Bloom mountains... Close enough to Laois for inclusion.


Saint Marks Church of Ireland replete with beautiful Round Tower style bell tower, Borris in Ossory, Laois.



1840's and medieval Church's at Newtown Skirk, Laois.



Portnahinch, Laois. 1600-1700's Church ruin.



Henry Grattan, Irish Parliamentarian buried at Westminister Abbey, London. Included here as his home was Moyanna in Laois where he wanted to be buried originally.
