Glad you enjoyed Ireland and hope people were nice – come back to NW coast!
Great tour report, ladies. I'm delighted to see you visited my native country. I'm Irish by birth and Swiss by choice. I have lived in Switzerland for over three decades, but when I grew up in Ireland I cycle toured all over the British Isles. Although the gear we had in those days was not as good as you have now – no smart phones of gpx navigation etc….
