Hi,

I have altready started myself and cover 10 of the sites on Sunday and Monday. I will post the photo once I find out how to. Please see sites visited below.

The gentleman that I met in the car park that was going to catch the ferry to Holyhead at 14:00 hours on the GS 1200 2010 number plate I hope the crossing was OK. I should be back in the summer to complete the rest. Safe Riding to all.

If the Weather had been better I will have done more

Hi,

It was enjoyable in the spirit of the Irish weather and the bike was made for such conditions. I will have to jet wash at the weekend though.

Here are the first batch of pictures

soji yer mad sir :D
 
I got four done today, I'd meant to do five, but I mean who decided on that bridge in Mayo, come on, it's fupping brilliant :D That was the first one I came to and I ended up spending over an hour splashing through the ford. I completely destroyed myself and then spent the rest of the day riding soaked through, brrr.

I even set the camera up on the tripod in the middle of the stream weighed down by my backpack filled with rocks so it wouldn't wash away, then rode one-handed across the bridge several times trying to fire the remote with the other hand, but to no avail :mad: But between one hand, holes, loose slabs and thinking about falling in with the bike landing on top of me in a few feet of water in I nearly crapped myself :eek: so I soon said feck that.

Great day though :thumb2

Might give this a rattle this year - look good craic. Any recommendations for a cheap n cheerful Sat-nav?
 
Type each co-ordinate into Google Maps Martin then you can mark your own paper map with the correct point and away you go. Somewhat tedious admittedly, but it would work. :)

Do give it a go though. It's the best excuse you can have to head away for a wee spin on the bike. :thumb2
