A rough crossing and back in Ireland our party split two needed to crack on up to the North whilst two of us made for a campsite at Rathdrum in the Wicklow mountains. We passed through Arklow, Avoca & a slight detour via Redcross,arriving at the campsite in the nick of time.

An interesting gate guard on the site

We treated ourselves to a pod which was most welcome as it had been raining for the last hour of our trip
