Blarney-Glandore (103km)


In the Morning I enjoyed to most beautiful weather I saw in Ireland, but later on it got grey. Somewhere later that day (I was near Timolegue) it even began raining realy heavily with some strong winds. Anyway, I managed to get to Glandore. On the campsite I met an English (actualy, 50% french) couple, which I would see some more times on my vacation.

Glandore-Durrus (65km)

Today, I tried to leave earlier (10 o'clock.) Again beautiful wheather, only a bit wind from the 'wrong' direction. Somewhere behind Castletownshend, I lost my way because there were small roads everywhere, and they all didn't have a sign telling where the road went, and there were villages and places which weren't on my map. At the campsite near Durrus I met the couple from Glandore again.(*) In the evening I bought some groceries in Durrus; cycling is even greater without all my heavy things on the back! (

*) If anyone knows them, David and his french girlfriend (or perhaps wife), both teachers in Norfolk, please let me know!
