Dublin City from the top of Three Rock this morning - first time I've made it to the peak. Then I got a bit lost looking for a route back down towards the Enniskerry Road :o

On a day like today it is the most stunningly beautiful climb on this island. Nothing compares to it.

For 200 days a year it is covered in mist & cloud and you can't see a thing. Tough on a fully loaded bike for the last 1pm where it get steep, but every year I've seen people do it.
When you descend into Kerry take the coast road around Kilmacalogue back and not the main road. Rough road but great views of the bay.

At point B there is a campsight (the only thing is that you are about 16km from Kenmare and shops. Although there is a great pub at the Killmakiloge.

Went for a training ride with some of the Gang around the Ring of Kerry on Saturday. Very tough going with a headwind or gusting crosswind for all but the climb of Molls Gap and the last ~6km back into Killarney. If it had to be character building at least it was in some spectacular scenery!

I don't. It's attached to a hostel.
On the map if you look at the junction where the R571 meets the R573 near Clonee Lough. That's where it is.

Also if you do a Websearch their is a campsite on the Kerry side of the Healy Pass as well as a fair few in Kenmare.

If you are going to cycle on the Beara you really should head out toward Allihies. Stunning. Only issue is that there are three 1km climbs with very steep gradients - high teens. But it is worth it.

Sorry about the picture quality, my photography skills are every bit as bad as my climbing ability.

Magnifique! The view is a liitle spoiled by that electricity pylon (and its reflection). You certainly have an eye for a picture velopeloton - chapeau!
