A wee spin to the 6 counties and the Free State.

Thank you, Bill... I thoroughly enjoyed your trip and your photos have certainly given me something to think about for a trip sometime in the future!

Likewise with your fabulous report, thank you. We'll certainly have plenty to chew over at our next breakfast meeting.

Great report & thanks for sharing

Sligo & Leitrm were covered at the ABR Ireland Rally earlier this year - stunning area - one of the guys on the ride-out did a video of it

I'm a massive fan of Fermanagh too - great county to combine motorbiking & fishing

Thanks Comrades. It's no Greek odyssey and pales into insignificance compared with your fabulous trip and write up though.

I didn't realise it was a B/H though that would explain the miserable weather this morning. It might also explain why the ferry was so rammed yesterday, people were struggling to find a seat. Top tip: pay £10 for a seat in the quiet lounge, it was worth every penny of it.

This is the hotel. Don't be put off by the pictures, it's a great place and cracking value.

Just booked into the Melvin Country Hotel on 5/9 for a night (after the Leenaun weekender) on your recommendation for a night
Do they do evening meals ?
It says they do, but do you have to prebook though, in advance ?
Got a B&B single room for £51, bargain

Excellent I'm sure you'll have a great time. I didn't eat there in the evenings myself but I think if you contact them something can be arranged.


Edit: Say hello to the dogs for me please.

Going 'home' if I might be so bold as to call it that

Tommy, if it feels like home then it's home. You can take the man out of the bog but you can't take the bog out of the man.

Glad you enjoyed the trip, it's a great little country
