First sentence: A SINGLE, twisting road leads through the eastern half of the Dingle Peninsula-the ancient barony of Corca Dhuibhne-in southwest Kerry, from the bustling, almost modern, market town of Tralee, over the Slieve Mish mountain range, through deep glens, alongside the "wild" coastline, past low sand dunes and steep cliffs, ending at the sheltered bay of Ballybran.
