Day 8 Tramore

Arrived in Tramore around lunchtime- as it was showery we spent a few hours in and then went for a walk. We found a lovely quiet bay where there is swimming.

Later in the evening we cycled into the town seafront- it looks a lot flatter than it was!! Thank heavens for ebikes!

Day 7 Kilkenny

Heading for Kilkenny today. Stopped off at a small town Bunclody for coffee. It was really busy but we don’t know why.

The site is just outside town so we walked in along the canal. The cathedral has a very unusual round tower.

Day 6 Wicklow

Our first stop was Arklow. A small port town.

Then on to Avoca where Ballykissangel was filmed.

And on to the camp site at Silver Sands. Once settled we cycled into Wicklow.

Day 5 Rosslare

The rain has stopped and it’s a nice day. Packed the van and left Richard’s. Had a nice stop in Pembroke near the castle.

Then we headed for Pembroke Dock and left on the 2.45 sailing. It was a great journey and we met Hazel and Paul onboard. They are having a week touring. Spent the night at a large but quiet site near Rosslare where we planned our next few stops.

Day 4 Redberth

It poured with rain so we stayed in this morning and then headed out after lunch. Drove to Saundersfoot and then on to Tenby.

After fish and chips we stopped off at Carew for a walk because the rain had stopped.

Day 3 Redberth

Down to Richard’s and we had a fabulous day with him showing us some of his favourite sights.

We walked Bosherton lilly ponds and ended up at Broadhaven beach- glorious.

In the evening we went for an Indian meal.

Day 2 Triathlon Day

A long day today as Mart’s swim isn’t till 5.30.

After registering we head off to Mumbles in the rain although we do manage to get out for a coffee on the front .

Back into Swansea to get ready. Parking was a nightmare but we had a street spot in the end.

Lots of time to walk around the town and get things set up.

Lynn Dave and the girls eventually parked and joined us for the start. It’s a huge event.

We saw the start of the swim and first transition then fed everyone and came out to proudly watch Mart over the finish line!
