If you go to the index and scroll down to Regions and look in the Ireland section - you might find some of the info useful for an Ireland trip

I've got two weeks off beginning 2nd June and riding North coast 500. Might have a riding buddy or two but another ABR rider is always welcome!
There's myself on 950 Adventure, friend on a 990 Adventure (pending Mrs approval :whistle: ), another on GSXR600 and one on some sort of hard tail death trap rat bike he's built. We're a bunch of misfits but planning a route around the NC500 and will be a mix of wild camping, B&B's possibly a bothy type air b'n'b or two.
Looking to travel around 9 days or so.

Gets a bit tricky as you make your way down from Index to regions but if you have a fresh set of knobblies on you should be ok (thumbs)
