Look what Harry found

Harry found the 'Look what we found' ration packs and since picking him up in Bristol has already devoured 5 meals. Yes they're good and yes Harry's obviously not been eating. Anyway we are here, here being Ardmore, just east of Cork, we've loaded our kayaks, Harry was here 11 years ago when he paddled around Ireland in a folding kayak, anyway he suggested we sorted our kit out up at the Cliff House Hotel, near to St Declan's well. We were made very welcome by all of the staff at the hotel and just as we were about to leave to set up on the beach for an early night when Adrian, the manager approached us and asked if they could support the expedition by offering us a room for the night! We could hardly say no to such a friendly crew, what a great start:) All being good we shall be setting off early tomorrow morning, feeling good to go now folks, Harry's stronger than I've ever seen him before and that makes me nervous, I need to start eating more.......game on.

  5. As I'm in the area, I might drop over in the morning and show my support and take a few photos. What time are you launching.

  6. True, the 'LWWF' nosh is excellent, especially the Herdwick Lamb one. Trouble is there ain't enough in one sachet for a hungry chap, so I think Harry should be forgiven.
    Good luck
