Ireland

I want to rent a car in Galway and base myself in Doolin, for a few bike rides and car rides to sights in the area, from 18-19 August to 23 August. Am looking for someone (or two or three) to share expenses of renting a car during that time. I want to spend the evenings in Doolin, to hear some of the music there. (Or is it possible to take a bus from Galway and rent the car in Doolin?) Anyone interested let me know -- Thanks.

hi there, i have a crazy idea about driving from killarney (where i booked an accomodation for two days) to galway. here it is:

killarney-dingle, back to tralee and take the ferry in tarbert to killimer, then arrive to galway. i think it takes about 4-5 hours driving.

is it reasonable do this tour de force in one day. i know that dingle peninsula is wonderful but i prefer see dingle and back.

any suggest is welcome

anyone visited lough derg and gone open water swimming?there is an i3 open water swim event in september, any idea of what I can expect temperature wise?recommendations of where to stay maybe?flying to shannon.
thanks

hello everyone, it is reasonable to think of going from cork to killarney by car in one day? i will would pass through kinsale, skibbereen and mizen head, and return by way of bantry and kenmare. all this because I want to be on august12 in killorglin for the puckfair staying in killarney for two days so as to have 12 days to make the Ring of Kerry and in the evening puckfair.

thanks in advance

Hello!

I want to travel through the Sheep's Head peninsula but I don't have a car.
Here are a few questions:
What are the best routes to do, walking or cycling, if you only have one day?
Is it easy to hiitchhike?
Where can I find a cheap place to stay?

Thanks in advance ;)

Atrocious weather conditions during Saturday’s Bike and Hike charity event delayed Sheena Yolzari, 24, and her friends Jennifer Ahern and Derek Harrington, from checking in at the Súgán Hostel in Killarney before its 9pm deadline.

Earlier that day, the friends from Cork were among a large group which completed a seven-hour cycle from the city to Killarney.
They then battled gale force winds and driving rain to climb Carrauntoohill to raise funds for the Irish…

Hello fellow thorn tree readers,

I am a female in my forties. I am taking my mother (in her 70s) to Ireland (our first time there) in mid-September. I am purposefully keeping our itinerary light since
1. we are only going for 10 days. and 2. my mother is older and I don't want to rush. We fly into Dublin, staying there a few days, take the train (am pretty sure the train) to Cork for a few days, then depart out of shannon. We are still considering our activities but my main concerns are…

we are two people and our idea is renting a small car and cloclwise visit: dublin, cork, dingle, limerick, galway, aran islands, achill, donegal and if we will be in time also londonderry and belfast.
