Considering the bike was fully laden with tent & sleeping bag day 1 of this route was a little too ambitious, the last 20km to my overnight stop at a lockgate on the Barrow navigation required a lot of will power.  The stops marked were at various stone circle and standing stones in West Wicklow & East Kildare as I was doing the trip over Lughnasadh.  For a heavily laden bike some of the hills were tough, with a little bit of walking up the worst towards the end of the day but they' probably have been manageable with a lighter load if I B&Bed it.  Covid19 times meant that everywhere was booked out as people holidayed in Ireland, even the wild camping spot had 4 other tents at it when I arrived.

I cycled some of the Barrow way which is unsurfaced (I'm on hybrid). Slow going which is no harm as it's mostly for walkers and quite narrow in parts but the river side view is beautiful.  St Mullens is a great stop off with the ruined monastery, Norman Motte and a holy well that was a place of pilgrimage in previous pandemics.  Maybe if I'd walked around it three times it all would have ended.  I got a bit lost on the road out which meant I ended up passing through New Ross rather than going East of there and then roughly following the coast to the ferry crossing to Passage East (bicycles 2 euro).  That coast and much of the coast onto Dunmore East also has a lot of hills but the roads themselves are very quiet except for one or two sections when I ended up on N roads.
