Connor's Pass


Before we crossed Connor's Pass, a narrow one-lane road over the mountains into Dingle, we stopped to rest.  We met Damien Ryan, a young geography teacher from Limerick.  He was riding a BMW F650CS and he gave us lots of good advice on riding in the area.  Damien is about to take off by himself on an on a 6-week trip from Ireland to Ghana, Africa.  This will be the first time he's travelled outside Ireland!  He's going to do the trip with maps not a GPS since his students wouldn't expect anything less! We wish him good luck.





The pass is quite challenging since vehicles coming down have priority and those going up must find a wider part to squeeze over against the rock.  It was a relief to reach the top.  As you can see the views were great.
