Well thats it then. No backing out now. Ferry tickets have been purchased. The motorhome has been hired. The adventure will begin very soon. April 25th to be precise. That is the day I pick this beastie up.

A Ford Autotrail F60 to be precise. This will be home for Debbie and I plus Leia the Border Collie as she will accompany us across to the south of Ireland, up the west coast, across the top and along to Belfast, across to Cairnryan in Scotland and if time allows, across to Buckie in Scotland of which more later and home. Buckie to home will be via a couple of places time left depending before I have to return the beastie on May 23rd. 4 weeks in total. Our last trip in a motorhome was two weeks around the South Island of New Zealand. You can read about that in the road trips section above in the menu bar.
Other than the two ferry crossings out and back I have not booked anything. We have no particular stops planned in Ireland. We shall see where the road takes us and what grabs our fancy. We have time.
There may be a pint of Guinness or Murphys along the way. Perhaps a decent stew. Maybe a wee bit of music. Time will tell.
The weather may play ball. It may not. It is the West of Ireland after all.
If any of you have been that way then all suggestions for must sees are welcome. However we will not follow the beaten tourist track so forget the Blarney Stone. Names of good pubs that like Border Collies will be welcomed.
If you fancy a read about the travels of two people and a dog in a steel box on wheels with basic facilities then follow along dear readers.
