Galway to Dublin
27 maj 2022, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Starting the long journey home with first leg across Ireland from Galway in the west to Dublin in the east ready for ferry tomorrow morning. We found the site on the outskirts of the city and quickly got set up before heading off for a walk around the grounds(it was in park land) in the late afternoon sunshine.
We’d asked the park warden about getting out of the coded gate before official opening time and the trip into Dublin docks as we’d heard about busy traffic in the mornings and we didn’t want to late for the ferry, it was an early enough start already. There was a motorway route right round Dublin but the warden said at that time on a Thursday morning he’d go through the middle (gulp) to avoid the motorway toll chaos. Food for thought tonight, not to mention checking the route he’d recommended on the satnav.
Early bed to ready for the early morning dash.Läs mer

Adrenalin pumping we were up and off before others were awake on the site, satnav prep’d with city centre route and going with the local knowledge, “to be sure”. On this occasion, thank goodness for the satnav as a few of the turnings weren’t obvious but we got there with time to spare…..and no tolls to pay…..result!
Uneventful ferry crossing with some reading and canasta playing then back onto land, past the CL where we’d stayed on the way out and had the RAC out for the engine management light, on through Wales to our CL near Cannock.
Bit of a confusing challenge getting to the CL through a park homes site with some tight corners, but made it we did. Relaxing evening with some chatting our elderly next door neighbour, also using the site as a stopover but heading north back home from holiday for a funeral.Läs mer

Uneventful journey back home, no engine management lights since Holyhead on the way out, back on the drive and kettle on at home for a “nice cup of tea”.

Post script on the engine light - booked in at Fiat dealer, diagnosed faulty sensor (weren’t allowed to trust the Irish diagnosis), parts ordered on unknown (long?) delivery but arrived the next week and fitted under warranty in about 15 minutes judging by how long it was in the workshop.Läs mer
