Liked the photo of the pit crew you had packing all of your spares an it was a nice touch to see that you allowed them to take their clothes off and relax, what were their names, Eore and ??

i would recomend it, some great views abd good coastal roads

i packed too many clothes... lol

leathers with a rain suit, as textiles stay damp.

if you go camping buy a tanno as this was the best bit of kit i took. made a great porch to both cook under and leave all your damp gear in over night

also if you go camping in ireland, plan your route by campsites as ireland does not have many belive it or not, and you dont want to camp on the side of the road

Re: Touring tips

OK Wookie now you have been what did you learn about touring?

Whats a TANNO ?

The thing I learnt going to France and back is it takes a lot longer than you anticipate.

Which part of Ireland did you like the best?
