Planning a 2 week solo trip to Ireland in August.
I'm from Ireland but embarrassed by how little of it I've seen, so this trip is hopefully going to rectify that!
My plan is to rail-sail from London to Rosslare via Fishguard, then head along the south coast and up towards Limerick.
If I get that far then I'll get the train back across to the east coast and spend a couple of days recuperating with my dad in Arklow before the ferry back via Dublin and Holyhead. If I'm short of time I'll train back from Trallee/Killarney to the east coast.
Rail-Sail is less than 90 quid return, so fairly bargainous...
Haven't worked out a proper route yet, but will be mostly camping, perhaps with a bit of B&B/hostel action every once in a while to dry out and do some washing.
Should be 12 ish full days of cycling and perhaps around 950 km, depending on final routing.
I'm hoping that with a very modest average of 15km/h (allowing for the lumpy nature of that part of Ireland) and riding 6 hours a day on average I should be ok for time.
Not planning on booking any accommodation in advance, so I can adjust the route on the fly if I'm ahead/behind schedule.
Possible route:
