Behy, County Donegal is a beautiful area of forest trails and old roads~ a lot of water on the mountain at the moment, so the wellies were on. According to the folklore archive, there was once a thriving embroidery business here, with ‘a spinning wheel in every house’. Also, a thriving poitín industry too, and while there were tales of a gold-filled lake nearby, there are also tales of a few stills thrown in during unexpected police raids. Storm Bert has been active all around Ireland today, but for whatever reason, stayed away from Behy and gave us a beautiful blue sky puddle-jumping ramble.
