Wednesday 14th

After a good Irish fry up for breakfast at Sheila and Johny’s we were shown around their place, the river, the original Ironmills which was the Ryan’s ancestral home, the lake and the view from the hill we set off to visit the Nicholas Mosse pottery and shop.  Charlie made some purchases in the shop and we viewed the action in the pottery factory – everything done by hand. The turbine in the river that replaced the original mill wheel was interesting and it powered the whole of the site.  From Kilkenny we made our way to the coast and a camp site near Dungarvan.  We went for a drink in a pub just west of the village which offered “Britstop” and decided it was to far out from civilisation and it did not serve food so not suitable for the next nights stop-over.
