This couple, clearly in their 60’s or early 70’s were headed to\u00a0Westport when I caught up to them. From Germany,\u00a0\u00a0they showed me on their guide book\u00a0that they were looking for camping \u00a0at Loch Lannagh. I turned them around and, complete with a shortcut they cold not have known, rode them the several miles \u00a0back to the lake.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I really wanted to learn more about them and their trip but their English was so limited, and they were so anxious to get settled for the evening, \u00a0that I wished them the best and rode off in search of more miles. I knew from all my long tours, that the little bit I helped them, made a big difference for them and the enjoyment of their ride!<\/div>\n
