Give ‘em an inch, they take a mile

Day 24 – Dingle to Killorglin  57 km

(1103 km  685 miles)

From Dingle back east along the south coast to Castlemaine and then SW to Killorglin on the ring of Kerry.   A hot day with a few hills in the morning.

We stopped at Inch Beach for lunch, so called because it looks about an inch long on the map.   In fact, it’s a long  and substantial sand bar that extends out into the sea about 3 km, with a excellent beach facing the Atlantic.   They must get some excellent surf on windy days.  Not too much today though.

Looking at the North side of the Ring of Kerry which we are going to have to save for another expedition.

 

All the way down that hill and all the way back up again! M had to sing Paddy McGinty’s Goat again to get herself up the hill.  Hit ‘tune’ below for a bit of Irish magic by Val Doonican

Here is the link to the tune:

Inch Strand. Inch was the anglicization of Inse which meant sea meadow.
Inch Strand!
A bit on the busy roads today but a lot on lovely roads like this.

River Laune in Killorglin. It has taken us all day to get the pronunciation right
