34km #Connemara loop cycle between #Roundstone & #Clifden that takes you across the stunning Roundstone bog road & #Mannin bay coral strand, the #Marconi transmission site, Dogs Bay, Errisbeg & Roundstone

This is a 12km loop cycle with all but 600m on local roads in #Connemara about 4km from #Clifden where you could rent bikes - the YouTube of the route ends with the route from Clifden. Or park at the Marconi loop walk across the road from the loop end
I added the short if hilly dead ends to the two harbor’s and small settlement at the ends of the peninsula - otherwise the only ascent is that up to Alcock & Brown

Today's post is on John Fisher.
Some of the previous posts have been about various aspects of John Fisher's life in Ōtautau, so here is a brief history. He did more than this too, such as sit on the local and Southland Dairy Board, School Board and give support to many other local and regional and community groups. But this is just a summary!
