Dublin 2 Dingle

The Rocky Road from Dublin to Dingle

I'm sure there are many of you still not entirely sure what all this is about - like, where are we going? To remedy this question, today I have annotated a map of Ireland (left click to enlarge) which shows the route that the infamous riders will follow. Don't panic, we have a bigger map with all the pubs highlighted in case, or should that be, for when we get lost.

You will note from the map that we have seven waypoints including our start and finish. This means, of course, that there are five nights where we will be camping somewhere in the middle of Ireland. We have selected each destination based on the cultural and historic tradition of tavern density. Without exception, this has allowed us to visit the most beautiful towns and cities on this fair isle and indulge ourselves in all the best that Ireland has to offer. Personally, I'm looking forward to the German Sausage Bar in Roundwood, Le Joie de Vivre brasserie in Tullow and Tippy Tapas in Tipperary - all presenting traditional Irish cuisine without the Irishness - a reminder of the heady days of the Celtic Tiger before the feline temptress bore kittens.

We are still looking for friendly and generous donors to feed and water us along the route so please don't be shy. We eat (and drink) anything.
