A few pictures I got on the way to and at Malin Head yesterday. Rode to Derry this morning. All the riding is done now. Ireland has been great. I didn't come for the weather but that's been better than I expected. Hat tip to the motor traffic. Generaly patient, considerate and friendly to a random on a push bike. Irish folk have all been friendly and helpful without exception. Really enjoyed my time over here. I think I shall visit again. #Ireland #biketooter #biketouring

A dramatic rocky coastline under a mostly cloudy sky, with the sun partially visible behind the clouds. The sea is calm, reflecting the light from the sky, and rugged cliffs dominate the foreground.
A winding gravel path runs along a grassy, rocky headland overlooking the ocean. The coastline is rugged with jagged rocks leading down to the water, and the sky is partly cloudy with soft light.
A bilingual road sign in Irish and English reads, "Fiorcheann Éireann BANBA'S CROWN Irelands Most Northerly Point," with an arrow pointing left. A touring bicycle with water bottles and a handlebar bag is parked next to the sign, and green grass surrounds the area.
A tranquil coastal scene with a rocky shoreline and calm sea. In the distance, rolling hills and mountains rise under a partly cloudy sky. The foreground includes a neatly maintained lawn and a paved path bordered by low shrubs.

Nearly 25k into today's ride. Sitting on a bench by the river in Ramelton. Got a coffee and some treacle scones. Nice! Last proper day's ride of tour. Off to Mallin Head. Staying indoors tonight. Got a bed in a hostel. A special treat for making it all the way. Not there yet though. Another 110k to go. Feeling fit for it. Have a good day. #biketooter #biketouring #Ireland

#biketouring #biketooter #Ireland Feeling pretty good with yesterday's effort. 213k with nearly 3k metres elevation. All went well. About 15k towards the end was pretty rough going up and down over unmade tracks. Still, I made it without mishap. Rained all night. The tent kept out the water. Gonna rain all day. I don't care. Feeling unreasonably upbeat. Here's a few pics from Sligo and Donegal...

A narrow rural road winds downhill through open countryside, flanked by grassy fields and scattered sheep. In the distance, clusters of houses and green hills stretch beneath a cloudy sky.
A touring bicycle loaded with bags is parked beside a modern, rust-colored metal sculpture marking "Mullaghmore Head." The sculpture stands on a stone path overlooking dramatic rocky coastline and the Atlantic Ocean, with a distant island visible under a cloudy sky.
 A lush green landscape features a patchwork of fields, hedgerows, and a few white houses nestled among trees. In the background, a dramatic mountain ridge rises, partly shrouded in low cloud, under a blue sky with scattered clouds.
A gravel track runs into the distance through a wild landscape of grassy moorland and scattered trees. A large leafy tree stands prominently in the foreground, with more trees lining the right side of the track under a partly cloudy sky.

Wet riding clothes at the end of the day. Not air drying completly overnight. I'm not sure about tumble drying technical fabrics. Packing damp clothes does not seem sensible. Choosing to wear as they are to dry them out. I'm gonna get wet again anyway. What do other people do? #biketouring #biketooter #ireland
