Lismore to Dungarvin - Aug 9, 2022

I booked an AirBnB in Dungarvin. The proprietor asked when I would arrive. I think checkin was after 5, so I said after 5 and she questioned that it would take me that long to cycle there. I told her I wasn't going the direct way and could keep myself busy in Dungarvin, if I arrived early! In retrospect, it should have been a warning sign. Despite being advertised as walking distance to town, with a lovely garden, the road one would walk into town was a highway. And when I asked about the garden, I was told it was off limits. The noise from the road was horrible, so I did not get much sleep. It was the first time I gave a bad review on AirBnB!

At least the ride there was lovely! My roundabout route took me back up The Vee, for another look at the Knockmealdown Mountains, then south through Cappoquin and past Dromana House. I took in a few more gravel roads along the way, and will definitely try to do more on the next visit.
