title The Dún Laoghaire 10k Run, County Dublin, Ireland - 6th August 2018 intro Whilst we're over in County Dublin, Isobel does the Dún Laoghaire 10k (that's six miles in old money) run, along with James. Afterwards, we visit the sea at Seafort Parade in Williamstown and follow that up with an ice-cream treat from Scrumdiddly's - aparently the place to be, at least according to the queues. imgp2720 Isobel doesn't entirely look up for it imgp2721 Fred's up some sort of playground aparatus imgp2722 Jamie and Isobel walk down the street to the start imgp2724 There's some building work on the sea front imgp2725 Some sort of derelict passage to the sea imgp2726 Isobel and Jamie wander around imgp2727 Down at Dún Laoghaire imgp2731 Children play in a giant sea-urchin sculpture imgp2732 A sea of orange tops imgp2734 Been there, Dún that imgp2735 The starting line is prepared imgp2738 Some dude looks out over the sea of orange imgp2740 Someone famous poses for a photo at the start line imgp2741 The mayor of Dún Laoghaire has a pistol imgp2752 The runners gather behind the start line imgp2757 Knobbly knees imgp2762 The runners prepare imgp2763 The clock is set to zero imgp2765 The race commences imgp2783 Isobel waves imgp2785 James waves to Fred and Harry as the runners pass by imgp2792 Push-chair racers follow up imgp2793 More buggy runners imgp2799 There's another mass of people at the fun run start imgp2801 The mayor is on hand to start the 1.5k family run imgp2810 The family run run explodes out of the start imgp2818 Stragglers follow up on the rear imgp2819 Fred lies down in a big sea-shell sculpture imgp2820 The starting line is rapidly taken down imgp2821 A wrecked phone box imgp2825 The race leader runs past at around the 30 minute mark imgp2827 More runners come up the hill imgp2829 A father/son busking combo, with clarinet imgp2832 A sprint to the finish imgp2834 A woman from the US waits for her sister imgp2835 Medals are ready for handing out imgp2838 It's all a bit much for some imgp2849 The jubilation of finishing imgp2850 Some kids wave imgp2852 Another exhausted runner imgp2857 Batman finishes imgp2858 James crosses the line imgp2868 Another hand-in-hand finish imgp2880 Isobel comes in shortly afterwards imgp2886 Runner gather near the DART station imgp2888 A group photo imgp2890 Milling around by the harbour building imgp2896 James and Isobel imgp2897 Isobel does a selfie with Jamie imgp2898 Back at Da Gorls, we prepare for a trip to the sea imgp2901 The boys on the bridge over the DART imgp2903 The children run off into the shallows imgp2906 Isobel and Wayne out at sea imgp2910 Annalua on a body-board imgp2914 Wayne and Finlay imgp2922 Finlay runs around in his pants imgp2925 Isobel, Harry and Wayne imgp2931 Out on the mudflats imgp2939 Annalua's proud of her captured shrimp imgp2945 Back on the sea wall imgp2946 The wide open mud flats of Dublin Bay imgp2947 The gang climb over the wall imgp2949 Harry guards the way on Graffiti Bridge imgp2950 The derelict house by the hospital car park imgp2951 We walk along Crofton Road imgp2952 The queue at Scrumdiddly's imgp2953 Fred and Harry hang out in the queu imgp2955 The children peer into the window imgp2958 We get to the end of the queue imgp2960 Harry tentatively licks his topping imgp2962 A load of ice cream imgp2963 Harry and Annalua outside imgp2964 Hanging around eating ice cream imgp2965 Wayne stirs his concoction imgp2968 Like spare tracks in a model railway imgp2969 We de-camp to the nearby grass verge imgp2973 Hanging around on Crofton Street imgp2975 Fred watches a DART rumble past imgp2977 Fred and Annalua pop out from behind a tree imgp2979 A derelict buffer imgp2980 More derelict buffers imgp2981 It's not quite Abbey Road imgp2982 Evelyn and Isobel share a phone moment imgc2136 Louise is on her phone imgc2137 Fred reads Nicholas a Lua a bedtime story
