Itinerary description
|
Climb one of the most impressive mountains in Ireland.
We start from Streedagh Beach and continue on asphalt until we have passed the Luke's Bridge car park, from which we continue along a track that ends at the foot of the escarpment that goes up to the col. We reach the pass on foot along a very slippery path, with the bike on our backs, there is no other option. On the upper plateau, the truth is that you can pedal very little, even on less rainy days the "path" is somewhat more cyclable, but since it is all pure bog (peat bog), little else could be done. However, it is worth getting on the bike.
The descent is carried out by the right path and we reach another of the tracks that lead to Luke's Bridge.
The day was not good at all and we decided to go back to the beach.
