Wild Atlantic Ride Fundraiser
Day 12: Camus to Rossaveel - 10km
Thanks to Michelle, Coilin and Marion for a good resting place and feeding Skye so well. I am glad I took up the offer of a spare room last night, the amount of rain coming down at night was significant and would eventually have made it into the tent, getting us soaked!!!
We set off for a relatively short day, so took our time on the back roads. It is so interesting to see the landscape change slowly, and the coastline is full of small inlets and islands, bridges and piers. We stopped at the 'Courthouse' drive thru, and although we didn't drive but plodded thru 😉 were served with lovely coffee and croissants - the first croissant, put out on the counter for me to pick up, was snatched up by the strong breeze and flew away, right in front of Turnip's nose, so that problem was sorted, and the kind proprietor gave me a fresh one, thank you!
I had packed and tacked up carefully as usual but somehow that saddle kept on sliding, so we had a brief tack stop and check, and then just a short mile down the road were welcomed by our friends Cait, Colm and Roisin with a great little turf fire Connemara style. Time flew over tea and brown bread and dinner, catching up on everything, so I only got a short walk in before dark to the harbour which is very modern and massive, and a big contrast to the rugged wilderness backdrop.
Goodnight kisses to Skye and Turnip 💕
