Day 12 Letterkenny to Malin Head

September 19, 2024

Final day of the Irish tour

NoToday was our last day of our Irish adventure from Mizen Head to Malin Head. It was a lumpy last ride with some seriously steep sections so I was very thankful for the e-bike. We had lovely weather again so a pleasant ride through farmlands until we reached the high moors and ultimately Malin Head. We had a quick lunch of a soup and sandwich (for the last time) and they headed to Belfast for the night. We are staying at the Titanic hotel just across from the Titanic museum. The hotel has a great deal of photos and memorabilia related to the ship. It is a lovely way to end the tour.

The final leg to Malin Head. Another climbing day.

We rode around this interesting rock formation

We rode through the saddle in the distance and along this long road.

A good use for some old and unused phone boxes.

If the defibrillator doesn’t work the church and graveyard is right next door.

The tower in the distance is our destination
