Just a short wrapping-up post today. It was a really beautiful morning, but with a crazily heavy dew, so I had to pack everything up pretty wet.


It was just 6km to the ferry along the busy N25. It’s still only single lane though, and has an excellent bike lane. If you don’t mind the lack of peace, it would be a great way to get quickly by bike across Ireland to the west. I’m thinking about perhaps doing that one day, then coming back slowly along the coastline I didn’t manage to see this time…






Up on deck I watched as Rosslare Harbour drifted away.
Luckily for me, the Duty Free shop had a great selection of Irish gifts, but the extra weight of this bag (Irish Gin seems particularly hefty) will make the last steep hill out of Fishguard up to the car a bit of a challenge. But then all great sporting achievements come with great sacrifice, and I will give it everything I have.

Gifts – ✅ Look away now, family. You haven’t seen these, right?’ ☝️ 👃

The very last of the trip. It’s been a blast. Have a lovely summer everyone, whatever you do, and wherever you are. Ben ❤️

I’ve loved cycling to Ireland “ with you” Ben. Thanks especially for the inspirational Waterford Walls. Puts Bristol’s street art in the shade. Like the tip about N32. Enjoy the rest. Xxx

It was lovely to have you along Judith! I think Waterford and Dungarvan would also be well worth a longer visit. Have a lovely summer! Bx

Thank you Penny, and great to hear that it set you thinking about trip of your own! Everyone raves about Dingle and the mountains, and I’d love to go one day, but I really enjoyed the quieter beauty of Wexford and Waterford, and the gems along the way – villages, pubs, people! Have a great summer. Bx
