Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Dungarvan

    Dungarvan lies at the head of a sheltered bay on the south coast of County Waterford, where the Colligan river meets the sea. The Normans built a castle here in the late twelfth century, said to have been ordered by King John, and its stone walls still stand beside the quay with a nearby barracks. The town takes its name from the Irish Dún Garbhán, and the Gaeltacht of An Rinn, where Irish is the daily language, lies just across the bay, giving the area an unusual sense of living tradition.
