11th May: Kilmore Quay to Rosslare Harbour

11^th May fifth stage:  Kilmore Quay to Rosslare Harbour 29 kms

All that was required today was to get to Rosslare Harbour. A very pleasant amble with a tail wind and fine weather along the country lanes through the wonderfully named villages of Tomhaggard and Our Lady’s Island to the tiny port at St Helens where we relaxed looking out over to the Tuska lighthouse and watching my Roscoff ferry arrive. Another half dozen or so kilometres saw us comfortably at the port and the end of the Irish section of the ride.

A great thank you to Stephen for accompanying me, and to my sister-in-law Anne whose support along the Irish way was invaluable.  I was sorry to wave goodbye to them at Rosslare harbour.
