TOUR DETAILS
Saturday
As with each of our tours, the week starts with a meeting of the group at 6.30pm, in a hotel close to the centre of Cork City.
Sunday
We follow a backroad along the entire course of the River Lee to our lakeside hotel in beautiful Gougane Barra.
Monday
We head South to the undiscovered Sheep's Head peninsula where we stay in farmhouses close to the village of Ahakista.
Tuesday
We cycle onto the Mizen Peninsula in the morning and the village of Schull. After lunch you can either cycle the coast road or else take a ferry across Roaring water Bay (it is usually quite calm!) to visit Sherkin island and then take a later ferry into the village of Baltimore.
Wednesday
Baltimore is a lovely village to potter around for the day or else you can take off to explore the nearby islands and countryside.
Thursday
We cycle on, hugging the West Cork coast, as far as Clonaklity, birthplace of the revolutionary leader Michael Collins.
Friday
We hug the coast road all the way to the village of Timoleague for lunch, home to an old Franciscan Friary. In the afternoon we continue on the coast to the historic town of Kinsale where we stay the night.
Saturday
In the morning you are free to make your own way back to Cork City which is 18 miles away.

WHAT TO BRING
|
| - As we transfer the luggage each day, you are free to bring the ball gown and tuxedo should you wish to. However do keep in mind someone has to lift your bag! Do bring a comfortable outfit for the cycling, and a pair of padded cycling shorts if you have them. We keep a limited stock of helmets in our van but you are best advised to bring your own which should be more comfortable. |
