11th Sept. 1949. 

A very fine day after a misty morning & a cloudy drizzly day on 10th. 

Left home at 10 A.M. in misty weather with mist down on hills to 500 ft. but after passing Crooksling drove into fine weather, blue sky & east wind.  Arrived at Kippure Lodge, Upper Liffey at 10.45 & stayed about there till 3 P.M.  Then back to Athdown till 5 P.M. & so home.

Entirely sunny where we were, with mist on hills above 1300 all day, sun very hot, & very strong E-NE wind blowing down from hills & so not a day for Braconids!
