A range of Santa impostors arrived at the Glen today , along with an Elf , a dodgy looking Reindeer , a holly bedecked Sky and  a Tinsel headed Ian , Oh and Eamon who was the worse for a very ( very) severe man flu which will likely see him in intensive care before the day is out . Dan Duffy was handing out no sympathy however.

Up to giants pad , green road , into Fallow loop and onto the trails , out to tunnel and up to mast . Just in case no one noticed , the COC had a clear round which in the red sweat suit was quite something . Met Al at the cairn , out looking for xmas present inspiration no doubt . Stopped  to admire the christmas tree lights which some damn fool had taken to the top without realising there was no plug.

Judging by the state of my Santa trousers at this stage , I’ll not get another year out of them .

Then out to Ballynagelty , end of the world , and home by reverse giants pad and wall .

Afterwards a  select gathering in NTSR towers for mince pies and a small libation. Calendars distributed and plans laid for 2015 .

Happy Xmas to all
