Here we have a wee
picture of The Burren on our left and Galway Bay on our
right. And in the middle are Jeannette and Helen.
I took this shot in September of 2000 on a special
tour
we put together for the Colorado HeartCycle. Just on
the point of special tours, we do this all the time for
different groups so let us know what your requirements
are and there'll be more than a good chance we will be
able to look after your group |

Belleek Castle! Here
we have a common sight - a wee bunch of my people saying,
'Paul, just one more shot and we're gone. Honestly'!
Never a problem. Belleek Castle is one of the nicest
resting points in the country and it is a credit to Jackie & Marshall.
They have spent the past 45ish years renovating the castle
and it really is something special. Look forward to staying
here… |

June, 2000, Heidi (who
has been with twice btw),Catherine and
Aundrea admiring the work of one Mr. Donnelly in Ardara,
county Donegal who built this loom in his front room.
Amazing piece of work. And some of the sweaters and
shawls he produces are absolutely gorgeous. Often have
a hard job shifting my flock from Donnelly's.

If you come and do
our Clare/Galway tour you will always see me at this
spot with my camera in hand. I took this shot in April
of 2000 and it shows a couple of trouble makers on the
road from Tully Cross to Leenane. The scenery on every
mile of this road is just amazing. Just a shame about
the weather on this day…. |

Jerry & Judy Lawson
from Minnesotta taking a wee minute before they head
in and check out the amazing Kylemore Abbey. Connemara,
June 2000. Picture shows Kylemore in the background,
built in 1745 by a Liverpool merchant and now one of
the most exclusive girls boarding schools in all of
Europe. |

In the picture, (taken
in the dungeons in Belleek Castle) we have, from the
left, Donna, Marshall, the landlord, Tom, and the one
wielding the 12th century Chinese sword in none other
than Bill,
a true character. Taken in May 2000. |

I took this picture
of Dan from
Atlanta and it's one of my favourites.
It shows him with his now famous big grin at a junction
in a village called Letterfrack. The signposts are the
traditional Irish ones, (still there) and he's headed
out to Renvyle. He has no idea of what's in store when
he hits the Renvyle peninsular… Trust me, you will
like this road. And Renvyle House! |

This is what you will
be greeted by on your arrival into the village of Kinvara
on our Clare/Galway tour - all the bikes lined up and
rarin' to go. We have this transfer because we simply
do not want our guests cycling through the busy city
of Galway, so we, (or I should say, my staff) head of
at 6am, set all the bikes up, and we rendezvous in Kinvara
at around 10. From here we head out along Galway Bay
and down the coast to Doolin. |

Barbara and
her husband Jim outside another thatch pub in Mayo. Jim's
tired because he stayed up late the night before. Barb's
grinning because she never stops grinning. |

'Now just look at this
for a scene. One of the few pictures up on our
website, NOT taken by me! It shows me telling Denise where we are going to be having lunch that day. She
didn't believe me. From where we are standing there
it looks simply impossible to get to where I am pointing. But
we did. And we do'. |
