Local Happenings

Once upon a time an Englishman left the Hotel at Glendalough to go the hills for a walk and he was to come back in a few hours.

There was no sign of him coming back, and a search party went out the hills to look for him. They found him up in the rocks and he was dead, where he fell down the rocks
