Over the weekend I went sketch exploring south and west of Cashel with sketch group Sceitse. We had a great day for it, starting with spooky mist till around 10 am and the rest of the day being glorious sunshine, it was a joy to be about. Amazing sites too, from a Bronze Age henge, to an Early medieval Ringfort, and then onto later Medieval Abbeys, we saw some pretty amazing places, while chatting, laughing and sketching as we went, exactly as a Sceitse should be.
