☘ THE RATTLIN' BOG ☘
FAN SHRINE

Follow up to my May visit to the coordinates. I went back last weekend and the ground is STILL warm. Warmer than last time, actually. It's June now so you could argue it's just the season, but this isn't normal warmth. It's concentrated in the clearing area. Step five metres in any direction and the temperature drops noticeably.

Has anyone else visited? I'd really like independent confirmation here. The coordinates are in my earlier thread.

I haven't been yet but this is really interesting. Warm ground in a specific spot? Is there any geological explanation? Like a hot spring underneath or something? I'm genuinely curious now. Might try to make the trip up to Clare this summer.

I've been to that spot many times now, as you know from the blog. Yes, the ground is warm. Yes, it's unusual. But there's probably a perfectly rational explanation — underground water, decomposing peat, some kind of geothermal activity. Clare has all sorts of geological quirks.

Don't read too much into it. It's just a warm patch of bog.

(I'm saying that as much to myself as to you.)
