Great pics, not raining so definitely not like Ireland

I would do it when schools are not off and it isn't a bank holiday, otherwise you will be tripping over a lot of traffic (vehicles & footfall). Plus it means the prices are usually better for accommodation and visiting places. I went in late August (mid week Weds-Friday) and the weather was still nice, roads were empty and i could do what i wanted essentially.
You need to do the Ring Of Kerry early, it gets crazy busy with Tourist coaches (which go Anti clockwise) and will be a mission to pass/deal with on some of the narrow roads around there. As does Conors Pass. Many idiots ignore the no caravans/motorhome signs and wonder why they struggle to get along the narrow road which is open to 2 way traffic!

Excellent points DJ,I dunno what to do or how to do it. There's 5 strong riding days there which I suppose could be done Thur-Mon and only cost 2 days holiday or Thur-Sun and go twice. I sailed into Cairnryan for NC500 on Good Friday which was a great idea and equally a mistake until I got towards Tyndrum, where Glencoe and beyond was relatively quieter.
