If he cant help at this stage, just arrive off the cuff, no problems getting B&B near the middle of the town, good crack, drink and very good music in Debarra's especially Friday nights, enjoy your trip

Shite, I should of looked at this earlier,

Must do's...

Mizzen Head
Sheeps Head
Beara Penninsula.

Do a figure of eight around the beara allows you to do the healey pass twice in the good direction. I am at Allihies which is well worth a visit.

Forget the ring of Kerry and Kilarney as it's full of tourists buses etc... With your day at Clon head towards Skibereen, Ballydehob, Crookhaven... Then over to Durrus and around to Kilchohane and Akhista ending up in Bantry for a blast back to Clon. Next day when leaving clon head across to Drimoleague and into Bantry, after Banrtry don't miss the Priests leap then into Kenmare, back over the hill to Glengariff and along to Adrigole to head over the hill (Healey Pass) to Lauragh, hang a left and head out to Allihies.... Its a no miss piece of road which the aforementioned map misses

PM me for a mapsource route if you like, enjoy the Craic and please MISS out Kilarney and the Ring of Kerry...

BTW around Clon, Union hall is a fantastic place as is Castletownsend
