Hi Alan and thanks for the offer. Niamh is keeping an eye out for her. She is round Clogher Head but forecast for the next 24hr not great so she may make Howth tonight or else wait on weather until Thursday/Friday.

Cheers
Steve

On her way past Wicklow thanks to Niamh and Sue, much appreciated! Waterford by Monday is the plan so I am told.

Hi All,

Niamh has made it to Tramore today and is on the homeward stretch. She started in Dunmanus. Such an amazing feat!!

Go team Niamh.

She is looking to round Old Head of Kinsale today ( Friday) , hopefully to drop in on Jon afterwards who has been supporting her from the start. After that it is around 2 days paddling left. Sunday looks like a good day for rounding the Mizen, sunny 15* and neap tides and 1-2 m/s wind from the SE on Sunday afternoon.

Incredible trip. Will there be a gathering at the finish like jon and sean's? I'll be in the area sunday "only" trying to get to fastnet and back, but I might look at mizen instead if there's other paddlers going.

Hi Steven,
I can come to 'the area' on Sunday morning and join 'the other paddlers going'.
Give me a shout if there is a plan for that.

Hi vlod
I'm now going to fastnet with one other from Baltimore at 0700. We'll keep an eye out for the circumnavigator but we won't be going round mizen.
