All cyclists today no other walkers.

Lots of beautiful small lakes.

Just 12km to go now!

An island for every day of the year in Clew Bay - this one is surely for today - the Ides of March.

Another 3km to go - feet getting sore now.

The old railway bridges were well made - approaching Mulranny now.
