Good advice there, keep us updated on your progress on this thread Mart and any problems I'm sure the lads on the forum can help!

I might try and drag the family over to meet the convoy in Doolin to check out the cool Dutch vdubs if I can get some time off work that monday. We bought our westy in Arnhem (Multicampers Wageningen) and drove her home to Clare so have a bit of Dutch heritage!

We stay two days in the north, there is much to see there, but you have tips they are welcome
I've been in Biggar in 2004.
Biggar is not our way, we only have one day from coast to coast.
But thank you it's a nice meeting we enjoyed it

Top tip when doing the north coast run is to take in Cushendun village, have a Guinness or sprite at Randal McConnell's ropeworks bar, Cushendun Hotel, if he isn't lambing sheep in the yard (he's a vet also, as well as solicitor, councillor, publican, historian, legend). When heading out the village take the TORR ROAD to Ballycastle - epic road with breath-taking views.

Hope to get to welcome you all at some stage.

Hi, I live less than 10mins from the campsite in Rathdrum an 15 from Arklow so again, any mechanical issues or spares required let me know. You're in Wicklow for 2 nights an there's lots to see. You have Glendalough and SallyGap on your list but I can add a whole lot more to it that is all with in 20 mins travel time. Brittas Bay beach, Powerscourt waterfall, Powerscourt house, Wicklow Gaol an much more. There's another campsite in Redcross owned by the people who own the one in Rathdrum. In Redcross they have a Micro Brewery and a great restaurant.
When driving from Arklow to Rathdrum, take the road through Woodenbridge and Avoca. When passing Avoca you could stop for coffee at the original Avoca Woolen Mills. When in Glendalough there's both the Wicklow Gap an the Sally Gap. A quick spin up Military road would get you to The Glenmacnass waterfall, and just over the road is the highest village in Ireland of Roundwood, just outside it is the Guinness lake, lough Tay. You can link the waterfall with the lake with a drive over the Gap.
