Not what you expect to see on an average day at the bog.
With the fine spell of weather we’ve been having of late, Irish people have been putting on their summer clothes on and heading in vast numbers to a place beginning with B: the bog.
A lot of Irish people enjoy the hard labour that’s part and parcel of a trip to the bog; others positively despise it and try and make the experience go by as quickly as possible.
These lads unloading turf from a dumper to a trailor via a very steep ramp obviously belong in the latter category.

Dangerous? Yes, but as an unidentified agricultural expert in JOE Towers said upon witnessing the video: “Sure it beats bagging it anyway.”
