SECOND ANNUAL WEST KERRY SPRING/SUMMER ADVENTURE (WEST COAST IRELAND)
June 8th-11th 2006 Thurs-Sun
Where: The village Cloghane, (200 pop) sits right on Brandon bay with the second highest mountain rising behind. There is a great Hostel/coffee and grocery shop that I have booked for the second weekend in June. Meticulously maintained by a German 650GS owner it is one of the nicest hostels in Ireland. It has a capacity for 40, along with some camping, coffee/grocery shop. Lots of parking for bikes and a great pub next door. . From here, it is 8 miles over the Highest pass in Ireland to Dingle, then unlimited possibilities for riding in South Kerry with Irelands highest mountains, and stunning coastline. This area has some of the most stunning scenery in Europe on absolutely brilliant GS roads, not to be missed.
No organized rides per se: Road book and GPS coordinates for rides off the beaten path, different routes from last year. All Gs’ers welcome as well as any friends on two wheels.
Excellent Middle-Eastern meal on the Saturday night!
