Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time - especially the food and coffee recommendations. Not sure we will be beasting quite such long days as you guys. Maybe we will have to do a bit of a venture into ballycroy but turn back to Westport for the train on the final day.
Just figuring out the route we will take in earnest - bit of a debate amongst us regarding camping vs bnbs.
Are the locals likely to be tolerant of wild campers? -

Would love some tips if possible!
Me and a few mates are going for a relaxed one in a couple of months - so far the only thing booked is a ferry to Dublin and a train to Galway - we were planning on going north, hugging the coast.
5 days to Sligo with enough time to enjoy a few sights and relax along the way, do you think?
They’re not regular cyclists so trying to keep it comfortable - possibly just going to bnb it, rather than lug camping stuff around -

@Velocio cool idea! I guess personally, if I went through the difficulty of setting up a small series of fields for people to use, I’d want some pretty watertight legislation that meant the land could only be used as such into the significant future - have heard of a few things left in wills to my local council that were sold of and have just ended up as charged parking.
Douglas Tomkins famously kinda took this to the utter extreme in chile which I thought was pretty inspirational, but I doubt you’d get any of the same sort of traction with such a small scale.
Have you come across anyone with more knowledge on that front, beyond the initial permissions?
