It s not what you d expect to find at the tip of the Beara Peninsula - a cable car to Dursey Island. The tide is too strong at Dursey Sound for boats, hence the unusual method of getting across. The journey takes about 10 minutes, and once you set foot on the island, just enjoy the walks and views. Although people do live on Dursey, there are no hotels or B&Bs to stay overnight (there aren t any shops or restaurants either, so make sure to bring food)

After the predictable Welsh romp in Rome came the exhilaration of Twickenham and two quality-laden teams on the edge of bringing the best out of each other. For the all-Celtic showdown in Edinburgh the latter was always going to be a difficult act to follow and yet in a peculiar sort of way Scotland and Ireland did.
