Dublin 2 Dingle

Roundwood is the highest village in Ireland and Johnnie Fox's is the highest pub. They are separated by a valley an d approximately 10 Miles as the crow flies. After a late start it was probably not the best idea we've ever had to visit the pub en route to tonight's camp at Roundwood, but hey we're doing this for the challenge and to see how far we can push Jonty before he swears out loud at the route planner. Around 2000 feet of climbing proved difficult for the big lad but he took his time and made it without breaking sweat, more than can be said for Stuart "Stewpot" Dellow who snored all the way to Dublin in the bus and then sweated like a wee lad in a sweetie shop with his granny, going up the hills and farted for Ireland on the descents. Consequently his extra boost on the downhills kept him in touch with team leader Big Al but all was in vain as there were more uphills than downhills. So le bracelet jaune goes to Stuey today. He has lost at least 2 stone but is doing his best to put it back on with some carbohydrate loading as we speak - yum yum lovely cider. Apologies for a lack of images today. I hope to remedy this tomorrow with some shower photos of Andy "le chef du voiture" Hamill to keep the Office Belles in Laurelhill happy. Hope you have the static bike set up and are following us virtually Michelle. Keep feeding her jelly babies Joanne and let Lindsay check for my post! Missing you all already. Time for that carbohydrate loading methinks!!! LLL
