A bad hangover!

---

Having arrived yesterday in Ireland and made for Waterford, the intention was to stop over in a Hostel for one night and then continue on my journey to Cork. Unfortunately, a Kiwi by the name of Hamish from Ragland, NZ got in the way. What was meant to be a quiet drink down the pub ended up being 8 pints of Guinness followed by shots, talking about his Dad's farm with 11000 sheep on it. You just don't plan these things. In view of the maheusive headache I am now enduring I have therefore decided to take the whole day off and let my body recover before I continue to Cork tomorrow. This will also give me a chance to update the blog with pictures from Wales and Bristol.

You had me believe that you were once a hard-core drinking matlow- so much for that! Im going to have a really big party in your house before you come back, Neil is even going to bring a herd of sheep for the back yard...better hurry up!!! Vic

Packed lunch
A few too many packed lunches on display in those photos mate! Hope the anti chafe cream is doing its stuff! All the best of luck, oh and what a delight it must have been if you were in wales when we trounced them! Angus

Geography
Mate - good to see the tour going well - although the blue zip-up cycle shirt seems to be taking a bit of a pounding - lets hope you've got some washing powder with you. Does your visit to Bristol count as 'The West Country' like it does to most Londoners, or did you miss the episode of Coast with remote places like Devon and Cornwall in it. If you do plan to come to the Real West, my garden is reasonably level for pitching your tent (watch out for dog poo though)! Safe riding mate - take care - Rob G
