Day 3 – Westport – Tralee
Today started a little greyer than the past couple of days, and progressively got wetter!
After a fantastic night enjoying local hospitality, music and beer, our fearless chairman was a touch delicate so decided to opt for the back seat for this stage!!!!
The challenges for this stage were a lot more demanding and some dubious creativity was called for (photos of various modes of transport such as skis’, a tandem, and a canoe were required of us)
The roads were again spectacular and challenging and going through the Connemara national park felt a little like driving through Mordor, high rock strewn and desolate mountains covered in mist and clouds... simply stunning.
It was a long and tiring drive, nearly a 12 hour drive all told and with a few detours for the challenges, lunch and the Shannon ferry which we missed by 5 minutes so had to wait an hour for (although we did see some dolphins following us when we finally were on the way)
Tralee was a lovely little town where not much happens though we did find a nice little restaurant which served the nicest burgers I have had in a long while!
Off to bed now, ready for the final day of the rally!
Don’t forget to sponsor us - there is still plenty of time!
Bye for now...
