Ideas for a Mid-Ireland bimble

[SHarper]

Nah then, I need to get away for a few days the week after next, my mate ChezzyM will be joining me. Because he’s not got many EU days available, we’re going to get a ferry to Larne, have a bimble around the middle of Ireland and come back from Rosslaire, so we can return through Wales.

Do any of the community have any must do roads/routes, or must see places around the middle of Ireland?

If we do it the other way and enter through Rosslaire, do our passports get stamped?

I don't think your passport will be stamped entering Eire, there's an agreement since about 100 years ago

That said, the old paddies do love a potato so don't be suprised when you come off the boat, if they have a potato ,cut out with a funny picture and they stamp the wet spud on ya passport

@West Cork Paul is the man to ask about this.

Nothing really happens in the ‘middle’ of Ireland. I’d head towards Donegal via the Antrim coast road. Take in the giants causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge Bushmills distillery and the fantastic beaches of the west coast.
Get on to the Wild Atlantic Way heading south through Leitrim, Sligo. In Mayo climb Croagh Patrick for fabulous views over Clew Bay. If you’ve the time visit the cliffs of Moher in County Clare and then down to Schull for a cuppa with Paul.
There’s plenty to see and do en route, and of course drink many pints of the black stuff

The best bits are around the coast line .. get south and do the coast from Cork to rosslare I don't think you seen that part the last time

The middle bit is flat, boring and full of bible bashing bacon & cabbage eaters, avoid at all costs.

I know you’ve done it before but stick to the coast from Larne as suggested above, head around the WAW slowly to Galway then scoot across the country to get a ferry from Dublin to Holyhead, unless you have the time to go all the way to the south coast and then Rosslare.

How many days you got?

Can you skip the cabbage bacon is good

…boiled cabbage, fried in the same pan (with all the left-over grease) as the bacon was fried in, is nom, nom, nom.

Turnip is even better, when done as above.
