From the Vee, the switchback on R668 driving down the Knockmealdown Mountains, I drove through beautiful forests and valleys. In many places there are miles of old walls on the sides of the road. It was still early and I was in no hurry. I took various little roads, drove through a few small villages. Sometimes when the road forked, there were signs, but I was sure glad I had the GPS. I could take any little road I noticed. I passed beautiful lush fields, farms and cattle. There was remarkably little traffic.
