As per title. Down to West Cork and Kerry for a spot or riding, eating and tenting.................not necessarily in that order.
Towards Molls Gap in the Killarney National Park.
The road less travelled,you can see it curving right around the hillside to the right, only met one car in perhaps 20 miles.
All loaded down, that's travelling light for me.
Nice campsite.
A tent with a view
The appropriately named village of Ballylickey. Lunch al fresco.

Ahh , but the difference is that in gainful employ you can afford to do more, whereas I have the time but not the where withal. We are all in a Catch 22 unfortunately, now where is that Lottery ticket.

Looks beautiful. Those sort of roads are an absolute joy on a bike in my opinion, sometimes the solitude of a B road more than make up for maybe faster, more congested A road. Have a good,un.

wish ours would, they have a no pay rise policy unless someone threatens to leave, then they can decide if they want to keep the person or not, some of my colleagues tell me they've been there 6 years on the same pay. In fact when I asked earlier this year, the excuse is the company has to pay for employee pensions this year so no chance

And I really must get me and the bike over the Irish Sea. Looks beautiful Eyore. I'll maybe hop over while revisiting Wales (inspired by your other post).
I can never remember the difference between dining al fresco and au naturale. It leads to all sorts of embarrassment.
