Re: Touring tips
From my experience of Ireland, it takes twice as long to get anywhere as you would think, roads in the southern part are not brilliant, traffic is SLOW, and not too many places to pass safely.. Great place to visit, have fun but take your time!

Skin So Soft (can't remember who makes it) is good at keeping midges away.

You'll need some form of chain lube as well.
Avon make it, its cheap and excellent.
