Your first 55kms will mirror the Slea Head route as above. Then the challenge really starts straight after you leave Dingle Town and you hit the Conor Pass (and Ireland’s highest mountain pass), one of the most famous and difficult climbs in Ireland.
The 5km climb will leave the legs crying out and the heart rate pumping but its all worth it with the fantastic, technical decent into Cloghane. Amazing views of Brandon Bay are a welcome sight when you reach the top. From here you are hugging the coast line along Brandon Bay and on to the food stop at Camp.
From Camp there is a good climb before the decent into Annascaul, the birth place of famous polar explorer Tom Crean. A great road surface on the new road into Lispole will be a welcome break. Its then a handy rolling 10km to the finish line in Dingle town to enjoy a well-earned rest and celebration in atmospheric Dingle.
Total climbing: 1695m
