This one from M.C. is a tad further along the West Pier in Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin, at a point almost exactly opposite Traders' Wharf. Somewhat unsurprisingly it has the exact same altitude as the previous one - 26.7 feet.

Last summer M.C. recorded a number of the 'marks that are on the West Pier in Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin. The first of these is a tad south-west of a point directly across from the end of Dunleary Pier.

'The sacred and profane

The pleasure and the pain

And every victory has a taste that's bitter-sweet,

And it's your face I'm looking for on every street.'

Benchmarker is aware that M.C. intends to go boldly (note the non-split infinitive) on a future safari to the West Pier in Dun Laoghaire. However on an unplanned stroll along it yesterday - the first in many a long year - an occasional eye was kept peeled. The result? This one on the lower walkway about 100 yards from the new breakwater going towards the lighthouse. A small pocket camera was all that was to hand but the results will suffice.

Below: A benchmark on the West Pier, Dun Laoghaire.
