    ‘To the people of the Ballyhoura region – every time we encountered a local they were full of questions and praise for us, without their support and cooperation we would not have been able to race across some of the most spectacular scenery in the country and they all must be thanked for allowing us access to their lands’’

    Yet again the Ballyhouras area has delivered more great gems of discovery along the route of the Beast. For sure it is a magical place with warm and welcoming locals that we will be back to visit again and enjoy at a somewhat more leisurely pace perhaps.
