Hi Carl, I'm based 45mins from Letterkenny and will probably be able to join you on one of your tours of our lovely Donegal. I'll know for sure closer to your visit. Till later, Brian

Hey man. I live in Letterkenny, so keep me in the loop about this. Would enjoy joining on for a tour.

Are there any good roads that which look to go on while we are there?

The guy who is organizing the trip has not confirmed the runs/trips yet for the group, so it might be a help if someone local had an idea or a run out that we could use.

Didnt manage to meet anyone last time, was out and about getting lost if i remember correctly

A trip up around Mt. Errigal and way up along the coast is a good one. I only did it once years ago. It's a good idea if you have the weather for it. Apart from that I'm drawing a blank.

1. It's a nice run from Letterkenny out to Churchill and then down to Doochary, on to Dungloe and around the coast through Annagry, Bunbeg, Derrybeg, Bloody Foreland, Gortahork, Falcarragh, around Horn Head in Dunfanaghy and back to Letterkenny. 2. Another good run is Letterkenny to Downings, around the Atlantic drive, Carrigart, across the bridge to Fanad, Portsalon, up over Knockalla (once or twice), Rathmullan and back to Letterkenny. 3. And then you have the Inishowen 100. Plenty of choice on roads that are generally quieter than in other parts of the west coast of Ireland.

Inishowen is a good drive. Done it a few times myself.

Any update on this? If you are still planning, let me know, as I'll need to book a day or two off work.

Hi Snowman Donegal is gods country with great roads, the local guys up there will keep you right on what roads to take but there is plenty of choice and a friend of mine from the MG OC did the innishowen 100 a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. If you are travelling from Belfast to Giants Causeway you have to go via the coast road. I hope I can catch up with you when you are in Belfast. Must keep an eye on this post....

Hi Guy's as the 26th is a bank holiday you might find a few of the Northern Ireland area members joining you for the run up the Antrim coast.

Hi Guys,
Just to let you know we are still coming over next week.

If anyone wants my mobile number, drop me a pm.
Dont really want to put it out on a forum, but will gladly give it to someone who asks from here.

Still not sure what or where we are doing yet, but i'm sure someone will have sorted something out.
I fancy a run over to the Giants Causeway at some point.

Hope to catch some of you soon.

The best day to do the Antrim Coast, Giants Causeway etc, is on Monday on route from Belfast to Letterkenny. I hope to join you on Tuesday. Maybe you would PM me your number.

Tuesday now out for me. On a course for work on Monday and Tuesday. Post the time you expect to leave The Mount Errigal on Wednesday and hopefully i'll make it.

I believe we are going to Giants Causeway on the way to Letterkenny

Barney, i have sent you a pm.

Any details on the run on Monday. We would love to take part
