Day 6 - Leenane to Dromore West - Aug 28th

624 miles completed. 

A tough day, not much in the way of climbs but unrelenting side and head winds in the afternoon, topped off with rain. Through the rain we have seen some impressive hillsides and more peat bogs than I can deal with. Too rainy to stop and take photos. 

Great effort from the injured Brendan to get back on his bike, keep up the pace and stay (mainly) upright. 

Pete's view of Ireland.

This evening the rain is coming down harder than ever. We should probably have attempted a sponsored swim. Still the locals say is will be nice tomorrow with perhaps some wind assistance for our route to Derry. Full Irish breakfast + porridge booked for 8 am. Just hope the Lycra has dried out by then. 

7km drive down to Ennicrone for Guiness and meal, drenched just walking to the car.
