Lap of Ireland in 24hrs
So this is my next challenge... A complete circuit of Ireland in under 24hrs.
I was hoping to have it done already at some time coinciding with the longest day but the weather hasn't been kind.
Hoping a slight break in the weather appears at the start of the week.
Comes in at about 900 miles. Should be tough...

Tomboy-Irishtiger of this parish did it a couple of years ago. Also the Ireland Iron Butt association has it as one of their routes.
And from what i remember reading it is 900 plus miles
Good luck (thumbs)

Re: Lap of Ireland in 24hrs
Sounds like a mission, but a good one (thumbs) . I reckon it will be a tough one to do.
