Ana and Petra did a record 25k in 5hrs and 45 mins today. Not much climbing and a chilly windy day ending in rain that spurred us into the rapid pace. We were welcomed by Jimmy, a talented baker who owns "The forest of roses" B&B, enjoying being spoiled here. Had a lovely dinner of the best roast leg of lamb preceded by smoked mackerel pâté and the yummy hearty Irish soda bread, washed down by smithwicks red lager. Jimmy will be making Irish oatmeal with bailey's for breakfast.
Tomorrow will be the hardest walk with lots of climbing so off to bed soon. A few shots of the day.
A pottery with unique art.
Beach walking and pebble collecting.
The sea was dramatic today.
Ana was followed by a doggie for a couple of ks, but eventually he turned around and went home.
One of the many bridges, there was also stone hopping to cross streams.
Ana learning about Irish history and enjoying Jimmy's home baked fruit bread and lemon and poppy muffins.
Off to bed.
