Introduction


Bayr ny Geayee is the old Manx name of a road in the Dreemskerry area of Maughold.  I feel justified in "borrowing" it for my blog because it is no longer in use.  That road now has the more mundane title of Old Schoolhouse Road.  Bayr ny Geayee is an appropriate name for our hikes because it means road of wind and the wind always seems to be blowing up in the hills.

For the blog address, I chose caillagh.blogspot.com   Caillagh is the Manx word for old woman.  As my name is a corruption of the Irish word for girl, that also seems appropriate!  It is time for me to grow up.

These accounts are memories of our Manx walks - starting from 11 March, 2013.  One day I may post accounts of our earlier walks on another blog.
