Dursey Head to Allihies: Miles progressed: 11
Wind and rain. I park the campervan, cycle to the cable car and go over to Dursey Island to begin my walk to Istanbul at Dursey Head and the Atlantic Ocean. I meet a defensive ram, leave my denture behind the ruin of a coastguard station, and fear I’ll be trapped on the island. But I do finally make it to Ballydonegan near Allihies on the mainland.
