The loop is a nice place to watch trains. Unfortunately, the railroads have put up no trespassing signs around all the good photo spots in the last couple of months.

This is a photograph from the East of Ireland Marathon Series Marathon held at Stapelstown, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 09:00 on Saturday 21st of September 2013. This is the first East of Ireland Marathon Series race outside of Dublin and also the first to have been run on rural roads and is race 5 of the East of Ireland Marathon Series 2013.
There was beautiful but warm weather in Stapelstown for the marathon which made conditions tougher than expected. The course brought runners on a loop from the village over towards Prosperous, Co. Kildare, and then back to the finish/refreshment area. The event was very well organised and whilst these races operate with a degree of self sufficiency for runners there was adequate marshalling, course marking, and refreshments available. Well done to all.
The East Of Ireland Marathon Series aims to make marathons affordable and convienient for the runners of Ireland. The serires organisers aim to promote marathon running and to make the process as stress free and enjoyable as possible. All courses are measured to full AAI standards and have a minimum of 10 Entrants. The marathons are self sufficent to a degree although there are limited supplies of water available on the day of the race. There will be no extra frills like chip timing and finish gantrys. However all finishing times are accurately and officially recorded. This is to keep the price down and keep the races as affordable as possible. The East of Ireland Marathon series is all inclusive and welcomes runners who are new to marathon running as well as experienced veterans.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: The East of Ireland marathon series stricly limits the number of participants. There were about 50 participants in the race today.
Weather: There was warm sunny weather for the race with competitors finding the humid conditions very tough as the race progress on around mid day. There was no real wind but a breeze which did help keep runners cool.
Course: The race started at St. Kevin's GAA and proceeded west into Stapelstown Village and reached a turnaround point which brought runners back to the starting point. This meant that runners then had to complete four complete loops of the 6.09 mile loop outlined below. This loop then proceeded directly southwards towards Prosperous but makes a sharp right turn before Properous village. This brings runners onto the Ballynafagh road and northwards back towards Stapelstown village. Runners then run down through the village (passing the finish and refreshment area) to complete the loop. The course is on traffic open country roads.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Prozac09 loves to watch videos from earlier times. Different to photos the amount of videos that I have is rather limited. But this one he is watching here is one of his favorites. He just wants to watch it again and again. And he starts to synchronize his own laughing (which is real by the way) with the laughing he did 2.5 years ago (I do not even remember what we did originally to make him laugh like that).
Entrance to Bachelor Loop, a 17-mile loop up the canyon north of Creede, CO. Lots of old silver mine relics along the trail. Our ride is a 2025 Chevy Colorado ZR2. Bachelor Loop isn't much of a challenge for it, but we saw some beautiful country on a perfect fall day.
The Water Railway Cycle Path near Bardney in Lincolnshire.
The path runs on the former Lincolnshire Loop Line Railway line between Lincoln and Boston in Lincolnshire. The Lincolnshire Loop Line was a 58-mile (93 km) double track railway built by the Great Northern Railway, that linked Peterborough to Lincoln via Spalding and Boston.
The Lincolnshire Loop Line was authorised on 26 June 1846 as part of the London and York Railway bill. The then renamed Great Northern Railway purchased the Witham Navigation and all navigation rights the same year and began construction of the new line, partly alongside it in 1847. The line opened in 1848 and was for a short period the main route to the north and Scotland until the main line from Peterborough to Doncaster. Closure came in sections, with the first being Woodhall Junction to Boston which closed to passengers and goods in 1963.
The line from Lincoln to Boston was known as the Witham loop because it followed the course of the River Witham passing through Washingborough, Five Mile House, Bardney, Southrey, Stixwould, Tattershall, Dogdyke, and Langrick. The line from Boston to Spalding passed through three intermediate stations, Kirton, Algarkirk and Sutterton, and Surfleet, the Boston–Spalding section is now the A16 road. The final section to Peterborough also boasted three intermediate stations, Littleworth, St James Deeping, and Peakirk. This section is the only section-part of the line that remains in operation, although most of the stations have long been closed and disused.
There are only 6 still open stations Gainsborough Lea Road, Saxilby, Lincoln, Boston, Spalding and Peterborough North remain which are still part of the national network.
