Left Dingle via the O'Connor pass. Drove to Castleisland where there was a VW garage which involved some backtracking. The mechanic had a bad stammer and with the accent it was difficult for me to understand and I didn't like to ask him to repeat anything. The knocking problem was probably caused by callipers he said. They didn't seem too concerned about me driving on. They put in a new rear light cover which I had smashed reversing into a telegraph pole. In my ...

Risking the little knocking noise on my brakes, I decided to drive to Dingle anyway. On the way lunch stop at Inch Beach where you could drive for a mile on the beach. Maybe they should rename it. On to Dingle where I made the boat trip to see Fungie the Dingle dolphin. For the last 30 years his appearance has enchanted visitors. I was told that if you don't see him you don't pay.

So I backtracked along the beautiful southern coast to lovely Kinsale. I wild camped next to Fort Charles...

Oh, so much catching up to do so it will be précis form. Wild camped at Fishguard, Wales on sea front. Perfect with view of harbour dog walk along breakwater and nearby clean toilets and coffee across the road. Many other dog walkers who are exceptionally friendly. Ferry Stena Lines Fishguard to Rosslare one way £175. Sea calm. On arrival at Rosslare just followed the road to Wexford. Made my way to campsite across river which was closed and expensive anyway...
