What was the problem? GPS not working again. Perhaps the whole degree minutes seconds madness. It wasn't sign posted nor was the wicklow one. But you can always call into a house especially if it lloks like you have to drive your bike over a mountain, or a bog. I thought it was one of the better ones purely because (in the word of Dougal) it was MAD!!!! a bit like meeself. Only wish I was twisted enough to be out of work driving a digger!!!!!
It,s a good one for sure
Rory no it wasn't the getting it was the track (!) up to it
Found the track but didn't go snuff up it
Yer man on a quad after I'd been up and down for 10 mins saw me pootled out as I was stopped scratching me head and said yeah keep going
But the track there was some nutter on a 11 rt after me two up
I NEED A BETTER BIKE goldwing up da'???? And I thought I wuz mad

Rowed at that spot in Timoleague many years ago at the Harvest Festival.
There are about eight arches under the bridge that served as traps for the boats at the start.
We were well looked after with sandwiches and beer afterwards.

4 days and 1,700KM
Weather was great for most of this week so made the most of it.
Day 1: Headed west and picked up
24 the Mausoleum at Monavea
24 Mausoleum at Monavea by Robert Galavan, on Flickr
Then southwest to Fanore for
14 the Killonaghan Church Ruin
14 Killonaghan Church Ruin at Craggagh by Robert Galavan, on Flickr
Before heading Southeast to slum it in Adare Manor. After two nights of tranquility with SWIMBO I headed South to
15 The Castle Gates at Glin
15 Castle Gates near Glin by Robert Galavan, on Flickr
Then down to the deepest depths of the Dingle Peninsula for
19 The South Pole Inn
19 The South Pole Inn at Annascul by Robert Galavan, on Flickr
and then back up for one more night of luxury at Adare Manor.
The following day was north to Donegal town for a wedding, taking a wee detour to Achill Henge. Three thoughts struck me. One, it took some audacity to pull it off. Two, I am missing the point of destroying the "commons" to make a protest to the "elite". Three, ignoring everything else, it is an ugly piece of crap with the mass concrete aesthetics of the worst 1970's architecture that I hoped we had left behind for good. Rather than dismantle it now they should bury it as a present for future generations!
20 Achill Henge (that's not dust on the lens, it is the shadow from a spaceship)
The track up was handy enough on knobblies in the dry. Other circumstances could be a challenge.

After a wee bit of partying in Donegal it was time to head home by a meandering route picking up
21 the Armada Monument

22 Pol on Eas

23 Portrunny Marina

7 Keenagh Clock Tower

5 The Percy French Statue in Ballyjamesduff

and finally
8 Boggan's Bar
08 Boggan's Bar Rathcore by Robert Galavan, on Flickr
Arrived home knackered with a big grin on my face. 1,700 KMs, 8 tanks of fuel, and a rear TKC80 that was brand new at the start of the week looking like it has one or maybe two days of abuse left in it (yes, yes, I know you can make them last longer, but where would the fun be in doing that).
If Carlsberg did weeks...
