14th May 1950.

The fifth entirely sunny day, but like all the rest with almost a gale from NNE. (at Landenstown).

Left home in car, alone, with Marcus Graham, & drove to Grand Canal at Landenstown, Co. KD.  Left car at usual place 1/4 mile E. of lock & walked W. along canal & collected between canal & Landenstown Ho. estate & a little in the plantation belt, where met Mrs. Beckman - the owner or owner's wife - who finding what we were doing was very kind & polite - though we were obviously trespassing.
