Default Floating a trip idea.....?

I think this might have been mentioned while we were at Le Carnage.

Would anyone be up for a tour of Ireland next year? I'm thinking more of a move on every night a do a circum-navigation rather than using a central base.

That would probably mean either camping and getting somewhere early enough to set-up tents every night, or staying in bunk-houses / cheap hotels etc. I know from experiance of my previous trips I tend not to be getting in until 7 which might be too late for some.

Has anyone done a tour of Ireland? Is it worth doing? Any recommendations?

I could be very interested in this Tom. Never been before and want to see it. Trust me camping is the way to avoid things running into silly money.

Yep, Phil won't stand for it if you organise a trip and there's bad weather.

Not really thought that far ahead.... just gauging interest.

Initial thoughts: Maybe 5 days.... but would need to actually do a route and see if that was feasible for the mileage.

Cost: Going from what Dan says above probably camping so cheap, ferry from holyhead. so camping, food and petrol.

Location: A complete loop of Southern Ireland. I'm indifferent to the North really..... although if anyone really wanted to go there it could be looked into.
