Day 10.
Taking off from the digs near Glengarriff the road took me to Bantry Bay.
Then along the coast on what I think was called the old goat road, rather appropriate some might say. I drove along here for more than 1/2 an hour and the only living thing I saw was a dog that ran out from a yard and tried to catch the bike.
The view from here was amazing, but you would not want to fall off and hurt yourself as you would probably die of loneliness before anyone came along the road.
Further along I came upon this, no idea what it means/commemorates as I could not see any writing.
I then went out to Mizen head which was mobbed with tourists.
Just a couple of views from the car park as I could not be arsed walking along the head with all the people milling about.
You can also see an oil platform from there, although the camera was on full zoom.
Stopped in Goleen for baccy, and yes, a coffee and scone.
The back along the coastline.
Feeling a bit peckish (I do need more than scones you know) I pulled in the The Motorcycle Grill in a place called Leap where I had something to eat and a chat with the owner who is also a biker. As I was preparing to leave he wanted to take a picture for his facebook page so I gave him my usual grumpy look.
Then on to Galley head.
So now we come to the last bit of the Wild Atlantic Way, the Head of Kinsale Lighthouse.
Tavelling from there to Kinsale you pass the sign for the end of the WAW but I could not get a picture as it is on a downhill bend on the main road, and it had started to rain so I just kept driving on to my overnight stop in Rostellan. 230 miles today.
It will be up the east coast tommorow then!
Andy.
