Day 4 Easkey to Erriffe Bridge

We followed the coastal road from Easkey. Headwinds, again! We stopped in Ballina where a salmon festival was being held. We had a quick wander round the streets and a welcomed snack of a scone. Had pleasant weather as we cycled through Crossmolina and Newport on the way to West Port. We stopped briefly to pick up supplies. Then once we had hit our 100km we started looking for an ideal camping spot. Whilst we found a nice spot, and we can confirm that Ireland has midges too.

After dinner we do our usual routine of counting kilometres for the next day and where to stop. After that it's a battle to keep our eyes open.

Day 4 stats:
Distance - 111km in 6 hr 48min
Total Distance 431km
