Water Rats Ireland

Welcome to the blog of the Water Rats second great adventure, Ireland End to End - from Mizen Head to Malin Head. Around 450 miles in 6 days cycling. Last year we did Lands End to John O'Groats (see link to the blog in Rat Web Links) - 930 miles in 8 days cycling. So Ireland should be a doddle. We are all from the Water Rats swimming club based in Hamilton, Lanarkshire. As you have probably worked out already quite a few of us are also into cycling and triathlon

Lakes of Killarney

A really wet ride to here but the's views were superb. The two main climbs - Caha Pass and Moll's Gap were long but steady - the highlights of the day. Strong wind coming down from the Caha Pass was really dodgy - nearly blowing us off. Only ten miles to Killarney and the overnight stop
