Day 2 – Cork Curves, Healy Pass & the First Guinness 🍻🏍️🌅
Date: May 3rd, 2025
We pointed the bikes east then south, chasing the tarmac along the stunning West Cork coastal route 🌊 all the way to Castle Lower on the Wild Atlantic Way, and then it was time for the star of the day: Healy Pass 😍
And let me tell you, it was so good… we did it twice 🔁.
We stopped at the summit for photos 📸. Our jaws were somewhere near our boots from the views along the Wild Atlantic Way. We stretched our legs on the Ring of Beara 🦵. There was more scenic swooping. We also stopped quickly at Eyeries. This postcard-worthy village practically begged for more photos along the Wild Atlantic Way. Naturally, we obliged 📷
Then it was back up Healy Pass again—because why not?—but this time we turned right and made our way to the campsite in Killarney ⛺.
With camp set up, we walked into town 🚶♂️. The craic was mighty. We finally had our first Guinness of the trip 🍺🇮🇪. Smooth, creamy, and well-earned.
So far: epic roads, double doses of passes, and a proper Irish welcome at the end. Not bad for Day 2. Not bad at all 👍
