Hi Benson

You won’t regret it if you make it over

Hi Heff
Spent most of this afternoon on the internet trying to find a ferry crossing which fits in to my time scale with no joy so it looks like i will be a no show
this year.
Check out the Holyhead Dublin route for both Stenaline and Irish Ferries. There are a lot more sailings on it and Irish Ferries also run a fast service on it. A few times I used to use Swansea to Cork and it got cancelled on weather a few times so I then routed up to Holyhead and across. From the ferry port to north is easy, its straight to the M1 north. There is a toll on the tunnel but its worth it and hassle free. Skips all the traffic. If you come up from Rosslare you will meet the M50 around Dublin at peak time and its worse than the M25.

Gemily

There are no GPX files for the Saturday rideout.

The route will be stored only in Flintlocks head, all subject to change, weather, time usual stuff like that

All I can say at this time is it will be mostly in Co. Donegal - bring some € Euro

Regards

Last years was a very nice route with a breakfast stop about half an hour into it. Excellent breakfast too.

Ran like clockwork, well thought out. I had a 6 hour ride up on Friday and another 6 hour ride back home Sunday so we dropped off before the end also partly because we knew the route area.
