Pointless 200
New Year Goals. Plans scuppered by Covid-19. Re-think for a ‘Pointless 200’: 4 loops from home. Hot and sticky. Red the ‘Randonneur’ Rocket!
The End some…
R’s 8th year completed. MizMal done. Now for the end proper. Into Northern Ireland and along its coast to Belfast. Double Disaster! 5 of 5. Back to Eire and a day off in Dublin before we depart.
Galway to Malin Head
Dodging the rain but not. Some proper wild camping. Views! Day off at Ocky’s. Morning sea views x2. History+ lesson. “Daddy I love you.” Malin Head and a big surprise!
Mizen Head to Galway
Mizen Head – the beginning of the end2end. Rugged coast line. Big hills. Day off to climb a mountain. No plans for camping. Long days. Here comes the rain/sun/rain/sun/rain/rain, oh, and the wind!
MizMal: To the start?!
Aches & Pains, delayed Trains! 3 days to the start?! Old train line, hills, coastal roads. Where to camp? This will have to do! Glorious sunshine, fades to wet grey.
Mizen Head to Malin Head, and then some!
Almost an Irish circumnavigation with the MizMal End2End thrown in. Rain, more rain and some sun. Birthday Boy! 4th & 5th British Isles’ peaks. Rain.
