Playing with the idea of West or South Coast of Ireland as potential source for touring/bikepacking trip. Avoiding flying currently so plan would involve ferry and then rail to starting point.
Things I'm interested in hearing thoughts and feelings on
*Ferry services: Hollyhead - Dublin; Liverpool - Dublin; Rosslare - Fishguard
*If using Dublin, where is a recommended starting point if connecting by rail Rail map; guide to carrying bikes on Irish rail service
*Interested in a greatest hits route for about 5-6 days riding
My trip above could easily be shortened to 6 days if you were riding 100km a day.
Connemara and Kerry were the most enjoyable which is nice as they bookend the route.
