Re: Balkans travel advice, hints, tips, etc.
Simon costs for food/accommodation are cheap but one thing that does mount up if you are visiting all of the Balkan countries is insurance. Particularly Macedonia at 55 euros/Bosnia 40 euros. The rest are cheaper but it is something to consider. Arriving at some borders on a Sunday can be a problem...

Re: Slovenia and Croatia - Campsites
If not already mentioned I'd recommend Kamp Vrhpolje (Vrhpolje 42, 5271 Vipava, Slovenia) Lovely little site in a very small village (with the quietest bar I've ever known on a Saturday night), if that's the sort of thing you're after. Plus the owners (as do lots of people round there) make their ow...

Re: Anyone Stopped in Any of These?
Stayed in the Pitlochry hostel a few years back, would recommend.
Decent enough place, good showers, etc. Friendly vibe in the common room. Handy car park round the back although no access from the hostel.

Thanks everyone, looks like a bit of a plan is now forming (thumbs)

Re: First Trip to Ireland - recommendations appreciated
Moorso - Bit of both really. I have a sat nav that I use mainly to keep track of where I am and to have a nose about to see if there are any interesting looking roads nearby. Use paper maps mainly through the day/night before to plan my routes though - wouldn't feel right not having a well creased m...

Re: First Trip to Ireland - recommendations appreciated
I'll be over for 7 nights/6 days so will probably be aiming to cover a similar distance to your route I'd hazard. (thumbs) Someone at work suggested going as far up the West Coast as Sligo. Of course it'll all depend on how slowly I cover the distance - don't really want to find myself needing to bl...

Re: First Trip to Ireland - recommendations appreciated
Thanks Moorso, that's the sort of route I was eyeing up. (thumbs) Looking through a Rough Guides book Dingle and Doolin were highly recommended so that's a couple of nights ticked off. Usually play it by ear when traveling in Europe with regards places to stay but any recommendations would be handy ...
