Maganey - Athy - Monasterevin

Left Maganey about 9:30 in a drizzle. One Lock-gate at Levistown Lock was difficult to open. Heading for Athy in bright sunlight - short break there to restock our provisions. Then straight back to Monasterevin where we enjoyed a sensational sunset.

Breakfast for everybody

That's for others :-)
