A planned two day mountain hike up in Dingle w/ a friend got postponed. So I took off on the bike facing into a warm westerly headwind all the way out to Ballyrisode for a high tide swim via the Altar Wedge Tomb. A nice slow mooch. #WestCork#Ballydehob#Ballyrisode#Altar#WedgeTomb#Megalithic

Screenshot: Map showing route out and back from Ballydehob to Ballyrisode. A 42.6 kilometre trip which at times followed the Euro Velo 1 cycling route, alternates and the main road. Two hours and forty one minutes moving time.
Seen from the back, the famous megalithic Altar Wedge Tomb near Toormore, West Cork. This is a popular stop off point along the Mizen Peninsula in all weather. The tomb aligns with the peak at Mizen Head about twelve kilometres away. A peak that was ‘handmade’ into the point we see today.
My bike with panniers parked on the grass in the foreground, with a couple of cars and a red camper van in the carpark at the Altar Wedge Tomb. I stopped here mainly for a little break from the headwind. That didn’t work. Those south westerlies were insistent.

Made it back in time to meet another friend, Lucas, an artist before he headed back to Germany. Also in time to get a stuffed Paratha & coffee from Budds Cafe. Then bumped into two friends about to head off on their bikes for an evening swim. #BuddsCafe#Ballydehob#eBikes#WestCork

Stuffed Paratha with salad and chutney. The paratha was a bit ‘baked’ dry on the edges. Not sure what happened there. Tasty all the same. Also in the picture, a half drunk coffee and water with a metal water jug
Three eBikes on a hill. These are the same make and model bike. One a large frame in green, the first in the village has a slightly different interface and handlebar controller. The other two, newer, are medium frames in dark grey. Mine has the panniers, trunk box because I can’t help but carry stuff. Snacks, stove, togs, towels and rain gear. I like to stay out as much as possible without the extras on my back if I can help it.
