Presentation dinner

We are getting ready for the presentation dinner, 'dressed tonimpress' and all that, but what I am really looking forward too..... A good nights sleep, in a propper bed, with no snoring or other unmentionable noises (from other tents!!) it's been 3 nights since 'we' had more than 4 hours sleep, & I just cannot survive on that little sleep anymore!!

Will post again after the, dinner presentation. ;0)

The End

The end of great weekend in the company of some great people. We've had a superb time and, at the end of the day, everyone has been here for ome thing, Macmillan Cancer Support.

On the ferry

NEED some sleep !!!!!
Ferry running late, so not going to get into Holyhead until 01:40 at best, then we have to find our campsite and be ready to go by 08:30 in the morning.

Didn't touch the sides !!!!!!!!

Back to Dublin

Fantastics routes today around West Ireland, then lomg rin from Galway back to Dublin and the ferry to Holyhead.

The "Lake District" of Ireland is absolutely superb, the scenery is second to none, got to head out that way next time we're in Ireland.

Goodness knows what sort of position in the challenge we are. Having stopped to help a fellow competetor, we were too late to do a couple of sections of this afternoons stage, so have missed out on some potential points. But, you just can't pass a brokendown fellow competetor. Good to see they made it to the ferry under their own steam.

Off to the race course on Anglesey when get off the ferry arpind midnight tonight. Wonder what's in store for us tommorow.

Stunning Scenery!!!
