Specs Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 How much are the Irish charging for camping and B & B these days? I could be interested in a trip down memory lane. More to the point how much is a pint of Guinness now? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motobiker Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 After our ad hoc late lunch we headed up and over the Conor pass, the view from the top was stunning. and crossed back to the east side of the peninsula over the Caherconlee road- which was especially nadgery with a lot of loose gravel. In fact the road was effectively a river of gravel, which made for some very exciting descents. With just one short stretch that had enough grip to stop and put feet down. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, so far it’s been glorious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it’s exact location already on the sat nav, still undecided about Thursday and Friday though. The only certainty is that we need to be in Dublin by midday on Saturday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Marvellous pics. Some great views. Although I cant help but think of testicles when i read the word “nadgery” If Spain goes down the tubes and the weathers fine I’m definitely doing that instead. What are the prices like (ferry, accommodation, food etc)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motobiker Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Wednesday and our last day in Kerry. The forecast rain hasn’t arrived. Yesterday we did almost all of the ring of Kerry plus the gap of dunloe and a quite amazing road called the lady way, or something like that. Very narrow and twisting, no passing places and no traffic at all!! Anyway, only place we didn’t go to was Valentia island. Some random photos. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motobiker Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Ferry was £69 one way same price for both Fishguard and Holyhead crossings. Camping has been around €10 per night. Fuel is only E5 and is €1.55 everything else is directly comparable, Lidl is everywhere and no gaps in shelves here, in fact it reminds me of the good old days of just before we stabbed our selves in the foot thinking we could run faster and further… who cares about bleeding to death anyway… 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motobiker Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 The rain, long promised arrived and so we’re heading away from the coast to Tipperary - which as you all know, is a long way. Currently enjoying lunch a late lunch at a random service station that seems to be doing a roaring trade in soft ice cream- the favourite seems to be a huge 99. We’re here in a village called Killdory. Yesterday had a ramble round east Kerry and visited the finest example of a tower castle, just walk in a have a look. The sign said. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
