Ireland - first time

[Kraken]

Some great ideas and advice coming in here, thank you everyone.

We did that toute in 2017.
We did wild 80% but tricky to get fresh water and dispose of waste water and cassette
Campsites and not cheap and you cannot pay just for the above services.
Buncrana has some at the tourist office and the memorial to "Amazing Grace".
Harbours are good for fresh water and possible overnights
Aire at Sneem is good.
Cliffs of Moher and nearby area nice.(The Burren ?)
Disposing of dry waste was silly .. No bins and so on.
Yes the locals have to pay
We shopped at lidl and the like and immediately disposed of all the packaging in their bins.
A reasonable trip but some of the WAW roads are very narrow.
Very little traffic no hassle.
We also found a very nice farm campsite here at Fethard

Whatever you do don't throw household rubbish in regular bins...big fine. Save it up and take to recycling centre. It's a reasonable charge for disposal, or was pre covid.

What are the bins for then.

Picnic waste !

Small amount of waste can be put in bins at garages and shopping places, one other thing is very few public toilets in southeren Ireland, and most are fithy, pubs garages are the best bet, emptying of cassette may done in garages as most toilets are round the back well out of sight and wont be a problem.
You wil find toilets at all atractions like national park etc.
Best time to come is may june july aug, after that many places are closed to next easter.

We're there now - started in Larne working our way round. We've 5 weeks but finding it really interesting and progress is slow. We've had a few lovely overnight wild camps in Donegal and Mayo - Blacksod on the Mullet Head peninsula was fascinating - lighthouse tour! Sea trip to the cliffs at Slieve League.
Wild camping is discouraged but plenty people seem to be doing it and we've only had friendly interactions with locals - so long as you don't take the P***.
Sites seemed expensive at first but where we are at the moment (Seal Caves, Achill) is lovely with great facilities at about £23 per night which compares very favourably with CAMC etc
