Day 81 - Saturday, June 16th 2018: Newport to Westport 11 km / Total 1705 km, 15°C, cloudy
I'd like to give a special thank you to the sheep who locked himself between the barrier used to separate cattle, and who had been screaming for two hours! Sheep are definitely stupid animals. And of course, when I finished packing my tent in the mud (because it rained the night before), he got himself free.
That part of the Greenway between Newport and Westport is along the big road, so less quiet. At first, the weather was cold. An hour later, it was too warm. Irish weather will get me crazy, not because of the rain, but because it changes so fast.
The landscape was made of little green hills. And I thought it could be the same hills as the ones from Clew Bay. I arrived in town in the early afternoon and looked for lunch. Then I just waited for the check-in time to get into my hostel. It was located in an ancient Mill, with old rocky walks. Good looking from the outside.
