Yet more things...

Well, the leaving day is getting closer and closer, and I'm finding that my main feeling about it is amazement that I'm actually going away, on holiday, to a place where I've not been before. I'm trying to remember the last time this happened, and concluding that it hasn't since I last went on holiday with my parents - as a child.

Dan has provided a possible route plan for Ireland.

We'll likely be camping at points B and D (a fact that caused a lot of amusing confusion last night). Dan, being cunning, arranged a 90mile route after point D for the final day in Ireland, but while managing to ensure that we are at no point on the route further than 35miles from Rosslare. His reasoning is that if we run short of time (our ferry is at 9pm), or I can't do the distance, we can turn and head directly to the ferry at any point. 

Today, I'm waiting for my last lot of parcels. My bottles from Wiggle, and my waterproof trousers have arrived so far, and I'm hoping for the main part of the Nikwax to come from Chain Reaction Cycles by tomorrow at the latest. 

Now, a very late lunch to be had. Bike done, squeezy bottle of chamois creme filled, small teflon spray completely forgotten: sounds like the day has gone just how I hoped. 

Listening to Ludovico Einaudi in case you were wondering.
