Perhaps with the ending – I made it today to the westernmost point of Dunmore Head, where the waves of the Atlantic Ocean break upon the sharp rocks of the pointed headland, and where there is noContinue reading “The Voyage”

LETJOG E2W – Day 39: Wednesday 22 May – INCH to DINGLE (16.8 miles) It is sometimes said that ‘it never rains, it pours’, and on the Dingle Peninsula today that maxim certainly held true.
