So hot down to breakfast early this morning hoping for an early getaway arriving at 7:50am to eat and I was informed that breakfast did not start till 8am!
So I decided to go and pack the bike which took me about 15 minutes and by the time I got back all the tables bar one were occupied with the tour bus crowd!
A few miles up the road, when I bought fuel, re-packed as was having trouble getting me leg over 😆
Headed for Connemara and glad someone suggested Rosroe Pier which was beautiful.
Then I followed the coast out toward Tully Beg and found a spot which I wanted to photograph with the drone and luckily the weather allowed it. Note the little cottage - I remember getting a photo once with smoke coming from the chimney.
Found the place where Alcock and Brown put their plane down after flying the Atlantic for the first time - cool!!
Then down to Roundstone - pretty little harbour where I had a hot chocolate to thaw out - in JUBE.....honest !!
Finally encountered Galway in the rush hour but filtering is openly encouraged here so it didn’t pose much of a problem Ha HA !!
Oh finally finally - a nice meal in the Pier Point pub in Kinvarra - memories of the old "Galway Girl" song but a couple of American teachers will have to do - i accosted them over dinner 😜
Can't speak more highly of the little bike - its EPIC !!

The therapy worked for me even though for much of that Irish trip it was raining and stormy. Enjoy - the trip around Ireland is my favourite!

I'm with you, Rob! Bus tours: 'If this is Tuesday, this must be Luxembourg.' No, thanks! Alcock & Brown landed their Vickers Vimy there because the weather was so bad; they mistook the bog for a grass field; their aircraft was shipped to England where it was rebuilt and is now in the Science Museum, London. The cairn that you referred to is marking a relay point, used when Marconi made his transatlantic transmission in 1901. Alcock & Brown advised London of their arrival in Ireland from that Clifden transmission point, which had been established as a regular service in October 1907.

Fair play to The Adventure Bike Pilot Rob, He does find plenty of great out of the way places....👍👍. In Ireland We usually refer to Peat as Turf, if the greens had their way it would be banned, along with two stroke engines.😢😢 That meal at the end looked good, it was well earned

I watched quite a few of the Adventure Bike Pilots videos to make sure I had covered everything I wanted to see so he was a useful reference! And agree about the “turf”!

This demonstrates why Wales is a better destination than Ireland. You don't need to book a ferry so when you get a couple of nice days you can just go at the drop of a hat. I go to North Wales 3 or 4 times a year (from Cardiff) and never see spot of rain.

@@RobLittleuk Rob the coffee cost me a massive one-pound-eighty so stop kissing my ****!! You haven't read my comment properly. Because I don't need to book anything, I can just go at the drop off a hat. And if they forecast two fine days, I'm off!! If the forecast for Ireland is bad, tough: you've already booked your crossing. The hotels I used are The Bull, Llangefni and White Lion, Bala. High St pubs. Cheap. Around £60.
