Good to see you back as i thought you had bugged out, please send more biscuits LOL.Wully, we did this anti-clockwise within two week. We could have got further but Trev and his bairns were stocking us for biscuits. If you do go, do the giants causeway early evening after the hordes have left, but all you see are the top of the basaltic pillars at surface levels, Fingals Cave of Mull is the place to go to really appreciate Basaltic pillar geology. I'll see if we still have maps with points we stopped at and give them to you.

Thank you Barry, will add to listThe Mighty Lough Derg on the Shannon was one of my favourite places when we used to go on boating / fishing holidays in the 80s. We also had a camper with us and frequently parked up at Garrykennedy for several days at a time. Its a long time ago but I loved that place. Not least of all for the pub there. Larkins or the Barge Inn it was called then I think. Centre of the Universe for music it seemed at the time. It was there I ended up playing in a session band one night with Roger Waters (Pink Floyd).
We are going anti clock wise which sounds good news and planning to stop at Donegal. Thanks for the picsEvery one seems to go to that Atlantic way, much more up around Donegal to see and go, if you must then advice is go anticlockwise as the coach busses do or you will be stuffed.View attachment 108999View attachment 109000View attachment 109001View attachment 109002View attachment 109003View attachment 109004View attachment 109006View attachment 109007View attachment 109008View attachment 109009
Modern houses are spoiling it every where unfortunatelyHere's what we did in 2018.
Round Ireland with a Campervan
We only travelled to Donegal after a wedding near Derry so can't speak for the rest of Eire. The coast is spectacular, with plenty of wilding places.The hinterland, however, was not so stunning in places, with a lot of moor and bog. The one thing we did notice everywhere were the modern houses...wildcamping.co.uk
Highly recommended. Go and enjoy.
Do you live there ?Milltown Co Kerry, its where ALL the best people in the world come from.
We were shocked at the ferry cost but booked to go while still able to. Price of diesel is scary but this will be our only huge trip this yearThinking of a trip to Donegal myself this year. Priced the ferry and they are seriously taking the micky but on balance diesel costs to drive the 400 miles down south and back just to get to France are making it more a realistic choice.
