A nice training row towards Newlyn Harbour and back with Barry as cox.

In very wet and windy conditions tested the Cotehele Quay gig which is for sale

Only went out of harbour for a short time as very rough

This was followed by a short strength session as follows:

Second Gig row in close succession after a long period off

Back in the gig for the first time since 28th August 2025

After a number of days preparing the changeover business computers from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and no internet for a few weeks in September and beginning October carried out first real exercise

Delayed post due to no internet. Started with flight from Newquay to Dublin airport. Unfortunately there was a delay in the flight and arrived in Dublin over an hour late. picked up a hire car and made our way to the Rusty Mackerel in Carrick to meet Jacqueline’s cousin’s unfortunately we missed the dinner and ended up having a few Guinness’s and crisps.

Amazing photographs on the top of Guinness’s from the phone including one of Fudgey Boy

The Rusty Mackerel is a lovely Irish traditional pub in Donegal

After breakfast a little visit around this lovely pub in Donegal such as Slieve League, Killbegs and Donegal.

The first on the list is a little bus journal up to the bottom of Sliabh a Liag a height of 595m. As we did not have the kit and the weather was not great we just had a little walk.

Went onto visit the beautiful fishing village for a coffee and walk around. Pretty little village. Like the old sea dog seal

Sent onto to the Town of Donegal and booked into Abbey Hotel and after a walk around the town had a fish dish meal at Harbour restaurant and then onto McCafferty’s pub for a good craic with Margaret and Emmett

After breakfast in the blueberry restaurant and a walk around the town made our way back to Milford rest of the trip.

Had a few days rest before having a lovely walk on ballymastoker beach as follows

Beautiful view

After a few more days working on the house and visiting Jacqueline’s family relations went on a long walk along the Colmcille Trail in Milford.

Few more days doing a number of things around the house and did another walk around the columcille trail with Jacs.

Next day went to Fudgey boy’s favourite beach – Rathmullan beach. Had fchips after and took some home to add to our chilli beef dinner.

On 15th September drove back to Dublin and dropped off the car and checked into the Clayton Hotel and had an evening meal in the Italian restaurant. In the morning had breakfast and caught the Ryanair flight back to Newquay airport to pick the car up and drove home to Gulval ending the trip.
