I don't think its cute enough to attract the "chicks" though Rob.

Nor are you Barry.

No, but Rob is though

Done a few trips alone, but more part trips on my own. Much prefer the them leaving earlier option than me leaving alone and then picking them up at an airport or where ever. Much easier to drop people off than pick them up.

Aren't Flexi tickets a fair bit more £? Haven't booked a return ticket for years.

Not enough price difference to make it prohibitive, Mark

Only booked flexi for the return voyage. Outward journey I'm on a deadline to get to the housesit, so fixed sailing date isn't a problem.
Worth it for the flexibility, especially in this particular case

The local wildcampers are a great bunch and a source of wisdom, where to go, where not to go, and upcoming events.
Then there's @trevskoda .
So generous with his advice and liable to down tools and join you.
Wild Atlantic Way, is a must do.

Trev is a definite plus for any trip to Ireland, Paul!

We sort of did most of the North West leg of the Wild Atlantic Way last spring - had Mediterranean weather too!

All I seem to attract is fekkin Chickens Kev!

The only issue we had in Oirland, was 6kg gas and refillable places

And what the locals thought you might refill the place with, Kev ...

Looks like a good plan, a tad brutal ? for Him Indoors but needs must and a practical solution.
Time is tricky, I like a longish period so I can go slow and really get to know a place however I was quite surprised, on one trip, when I got really home sick in the middle of a 2 month trip.
My main fear with Ireland is that it will rain the whole time but I wish you a great trip and happy exploring.

I'll not go without Liz, what's the point?

I'm not one for solo traveling, gf however seems quite content to be off on her own, although for only short trips.
When we go on longer trips after couple of months I'm happy to go home, gf however is always wanting to be away longer, this is odd as she has much stronger family ties than me.

Blue calor gas almost impossible to find in the republic. There used to be a place in Milltown Malbay...

Never understood the fascination of making it look like a child's tbh, but it takes all sorts, I like a good bush.

[chrishunter]

That must be a good point to go on your own.
