Having ridden our bikes more than\u00ac\u202060 km\u00ac\u2020in a day we found the thought of   completing the final leg of our\u00ac\u202090 km\u00ac\u2020journey from Athlone to Galway in   the increasing cold of the evening unpleasant.  So in the hopes of   finding a camp ground we went a few km out of the way to where we   believed we would be most likely to find camp grounds:  a lake,   specifically Lough Rea.  Upon our arrival at this pristine lake we   found camping strictly prohibited, though we took some joy in watching   two locals take a swim in the frigid waters.  After this short   distraction we went about trying to work around our minor setback.    Patrick suggested we ask one of the locals if we could stay in their   fields.  While I\u00ac\u2020didn&#8217;t\u00ac\u2020want to impose, I certainly wasn&#8217;t going to stop   him from giving it a try.  I&#8217;ll let him tell a bit about what happened   next<br \/>\n<em>The following is Patrick<\/em> So I climbed through a rusty old fence and trekked up a giant hill   riddled with stone walls. After some skilled climbing I approached the   farmhouse. An old man was just getting out of his car when I asked him   if we could camp on his land. He thought about it for about a half a   second and then replied &#8220;that should be fine as long as you: close the   gate, no knocking walls and no dogs&#8221; he was very avid about that last   point, so I assured him and ran down the hill like Forrest Gump with   the good news.<\/p>\n<p><!--Mime Type of File is image\/jpeg --><\/p>\n<div class=\"postie-image-div\"><img class=\"postie-image\" style=\"none;\" src=\"http:\/\/asyouwill.com\/weblog\/wp-photos\/20080614-111650-1.jpg\" alt=\"photo.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night for only the second time we tried our hand at camping.
