d73 c- Sep7 Fri Dingle-Blasket Islands-Dingle

Day off from cycling, instead a boat out to the Blasket Isles, populated until 1952.
However the boat service from Dingle was cancelled and the substitute was a minibus to Dunquin then a shorter, smaller ferry to Gt Blasket.
View of the the unclouded parts of the Blasket Islea from Dunquin
The tiny port of Dunquin with its traditional rowing boats
A closer view of Gt Blasket sland
Getting from the ferry to Gt Blasket shore
The landing slip at Gt Blasket
Remains of habitation abandoned in 1952
Looking back at the mainland, Slea Head, from Gt Blasket Island
Clocked up 8,000 miles on this bike since summer 2009
