Day 1 and 2 vital stats

<p>So far so good. Day 1 we travelled from Malin Head to Gleanveagh National Park. In total we cycled 103km in 6 hr and 15 min. The friendliness of the Irish has been noted. So far we've been given a lift to a pub, I have cheered up a hill and given water at a pub. We wild camped the first night. </p>
<p>The start for day 2 was nasty. Wet and a little chilly. We stopped for a cup of tea and a bacon roll. We then stopped for lunch at Dungloe before heading on. The rain got lighter and made good progress. It might have been wet but it didn't dampen our spirits. We camped last at hostel just outside Donegal. After dinner we went to a pub stopping for an ice cream on the way (Andrew had been pointing them out all day). </p>
<p>After a pint of Guinness, we headed back for a well earned rest. Day 2: distance - 110km and time - 8hr 40 min. Today off down to Sligo and onwards. </p>
