Popped out of Cork

Met Dan  the Garda IPA motorcycle club president in Cork today. Had a good chat and now planning a visit to Cork in the spring. Thanks Dan for the coffee and T shirt and hope to catch up in the springtime. Onward on Dan’s recommendation to Spanish Point Co. Clare. This overlooks the Atlantic and marks the west point of my journey across Ireland. From here it is north east, Belfast and then home. Spanish Point has an excellent surfing spot but bathing is not safe here, particularly to the left of the Black Rock where currents are strong. It is a gale force 9 and driving rain here tonight so I decided to give the bathing a miss not because of this but because  I left my trunks in the USA. The Spanish found it unsafe, too  when they washed ashore after the Armada lost its way. Will get some photos tomorrow but meantime some more from Cobh.
