Good luck, hopefully no punctures or leprechauns jabbing you off or anything.

I also look forward to the report. Where abouts are you going?

Happy sailing Steve!

My best advice if you are a poor sailor (I am cry ) or if the sea is rough, is to get as low down in the ferry as you can as the higher up you are the more movement.

If the ferry gets much too lost and turns North-east a little, then he may want to call in to Jan Mayen Island for a visit.

I'll put the kettle on and start a brew in anticipation.   or  biggrin

You will enjoy Ireland I'm sure.

There is no road to the top of Beerenberg, Steve - only footpaths.

HERE is a picture of my TTR on Jan Mayen, outside the met station when I was acting as tour guide to a couple of Norwegians. wink

It is currently very cold here so I don't get out much on the bike.

That looks nice and rather similar to here.

We're currently -4 C and today it's been cloudy and sunny (at times).

I guess you are enjoying Ireland and TTR riding. confusebiggrinaww
