 
Mulranny to Dublin
Coast-2-Coast cycle ride 19/07/2019 to 21/07/2019
Day 0: Thursday 18-07-2019
Seven of us set out for Anglesey to get the Holyhead ferry for Dublin (and we only just made it with 15 minutes to spare). We then have to drive across country to Westport and then on to Mulranny, a very long day indeed!
Day 1: Friday 19-07-2019
Well yesterday was a beautiful sunny day, but this morning is very overcast and the minute we set off from Mulranny it starts to rain. Welcome to the emerald isle.

Day 3 we stay overnight in Milltownpass and then back to the Royal Canal to take us into and through Dublin. It's the best weather so far, but we have to hurry because rain is forecast for later in the afternoon.
