Could the Killarney club members setup another Club Run down there for that date/time ? I may even drag my car out if they set this run up - it's just so so much Mx5 FUN on those roads

[goseatonio]

Thank you Fergus!

For sure these roads are are a must.

What to do, were to drive, what to see, what to eat and drink...?

We've read lots of tourist guides and articles, but to be honest, we're a bit confused because we have too much information about too many places and things to do, so It would be great if you can help us to made a private list of "the best of Ireland".

Of course we're interested on driving in nice roads, but any recommendation about "what to see", "what to do", "what to eat and drink" would be very welcome, so I suggest to use this post as a point to collect suggestions, and the

Here you will find the main points of the route (ferry and places we'll stay), the routes indicated in the map are the ones google recommended as the fastest, but we'll follow different ones in order to enjoy nice roads, or to visit interesting places.

Thank you in advance!

On the 8th, you could head down towards Kildare, only 30 mins from the city, and visit the Newbridge silverware showroom and museum or go on to Kildare town and visit the national stud. There's an excellent shopping facility in Kildare town also called the Village. I will be off work that day if you want to meet up, I could act as your guide for the day..don't forget that I'm also planning an evening run in the Dublin/Wicklow mountains that evening.

Hi goseatonio.

When traveling from Clare to Kerry and on to Cork you try fit as much of this route in as you can. Travel out of Tralee and head for Dingle using the Conor pass route. Fantastic views and bendy roads. On the way back head for Inch beach and on for killarney passing castlemaine on the way. Leaving killarney head for lady's view, on to molls gap, sneem, kenmare and on to cork. Some of the best views in the country. Some roads have a bad surface but all good fun to drive.
Hope this is of some help to you.
Can't go wrong for food in Dingle, Killarney or Kenmare.

Hi Goseatonio,
What is the address of your hotel/guesthouse the 14th/15th August? I live near Spiddal and might be able to meet up... Galway is great for a short break from driving duties, or you could visit the Aran islands, Inishmore, on a day trip.
