Have a look here www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125290 and here www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49439

What parts of the Country will you be thinking of travelling to??

Any particular interests, historical, museums or just sight seeing??

 

[Andy W]

Not really thought in any great detail really. Be good to follow coast with the odd in land excursion. Hopefully stop off somewhere for a few nights & do some walking/sight seeing.

I will have a look at the links - cheers

if you plan on making it as far as the south west you couldn't go far wrong with a day or two around west Cork & Kerry. Outstanding part of the country. But I'm majorly biased on that front.

May time

If you are in over around 21st May this is an option

and the coast road is one of the top ten drives in the world

Your Essential Irish Journey

this should be enough to whet your appetite for now

then there's Donegal, Connemara, Clare, Cork and Kerry
how many months did you say you have? The daylight hours are long in May.

If you've a week and fancy getting away from the main tourist spots, you could take a shot at the 2011 Photo Rally - http://www.irishphotorally.com/

If you are headin up the A2 give me a message and we'll see if we can meet the A2 is good for pocket rockets but there are much nicer ones within half a mile from it

Check out Newcastle Co Down-Meelmore Lodge in the Mourne mountains, good camp site and B&B. Good area to ride your bike & also excellent for hill walking.
