It still doesn't let you down. I've done it north to south before, this time we're going in the opposite direction which I.M.O. is the better way.
A quick stop to visit Bere Island viewpoint which, ironically gives you no view of Bere Island.
Interesting that there's no mention of the internment camp on the noticeboard.

Next stop Dursey cable car. I've done it before, Phil wasn't bothered about doing it this time so we sat awhile and enjoyed the view.
I had a burger from the little van here, highly recommended and considering the captive audience reasonable value at €5. If you have one just ask them not to smother it in mayonnaise and ketchup like they did mine.
Phil doing his best Lady Di impression.

There are a few passes across the island which you won't do if you do the WAW or The Ring of Bearra. I was keen to investigate these, Phil less so so he's heading direct from here to our digs.
I"m currently about to stat Healy's Pass having gone tye coastal route to Eyeries then crossed to Castletownbere.
The road to Eyeries from the cable car is glorious.

A quick stop to offer thanks for my good health, everything I have, the people I've met and the life I've had before asking for a little more of the same.
bates the shite outta galtee (even tho the outlaws live 4 miles from the factory)
yes.
but no.
West Cork wagyu in those burgers!Next stop Dursey cable car. I've done it before, Phil wasn't bothered about doing it this time so we sat awhile and enjoyed the view.

The monkfish and chips from that wee caravan is my choice. The same vendor has a stall in Allihies in the evenings.
Worth knowing, thank you. She's quite the character.
Well The Healy Pass didn't disappoint. If you're down this way doing The WAW make sure you add this into your route, it will add less than an hour to do it both ways and it would be a crime not to.
It seems bad to be getting such pleasure out of something built by tragedy.
And then into Kenmare via the 'Fastest Route' again......
We ate at The Coachman pub this evening and it was excellent before an stroll around town.
Edit: N.B. The spotlights are playing up on the Himmy again but Phil has unleashed his 'Devil may care' attitude and left the cover off.
