As we went to bed,
still raining, we suspected that Jamie was going to be a problem
again, and sure enough half an hour later he was asking to go out.
Terry obliged but, just in case, bedded down on the side seats to
stay with him as he was obviously unhappy. Over the next couple of
hours we were out twice more, but then he settled – but Terry had
an uncomfortable night.
Dry if dull at Sunday
Breakfast time so after dealing with the tanks etc. rejoined the Wild
Atlantic Way. Again we were a little disappointed with the scenery so
missed out a number of the viewpoints, which all appeared to be of
long beaches and the occasional view of the coastal headlands.
Accessing these meant leaving the “main” road and navigating
little lanes, just to turn round and come back again, which seemed a
bit pointless to us so most were by-passed.
We did however start to
pass through somewhat hillier and boggy moorland, which of course is
another feature of the Irish countryside. Unfortunately we had
omitted to top up the fuel tank and it was also a somewhat
unpopulated area, as well as being Sunday. This discouraged us from
taking some of the peninsular diversions until we came to a filling
station that was open. It wasn't really a problem but having managed
something similar before we did not want to be faced with a low fuel
situation.

But all was now well
and we found a nice, if somewhat breezy, beach for the obligatory
exercise and an extended lunch stop. As the afternoon wore on the
scenery started to become more interesting and the sun came out –
that always makes everything look better. Consulting our trusty
Campercontact App we noted another private aire-type place just after
crossing the bridge onto Askill Island which we'd reach at just about
the right time for a stop. On arrival we found that the owners were
on holiday but the couple in another Brit van, who had arrived
shortly before us, had been told by the guys who were currently
redecorating the house to just carry on and put the fees in an
envelope in the letter box. So we dropped anchor, had a nice chat
with the other couple then tea.
