Mountain memories

Sir, – I was fascinated by Paddy Woodworth’s article and the accompanying photographs (“One wild festival: camping in the Comeraghs”, Life, September 17th).

Growing up in Clonmel, my mother used to bring my brothers and myself for picnics to Comshingaun. Having trudged up the mountain, she used to tell us that this lake was bottomless and that if we fell in we would end up in Australia! Reading the article, I could have been that little girl sitting on the rock 60 years ago! – Yours, etc,
