Many thanks to all for your suggestions & info.

We shall meet up with some friends from the Cotswolds and Derbyshire on arrival, and then toss a coin to decide what direction to venture forth!

My personal preference would somewhere like Co. Mayo or Sligo (we visited Kerry some 12 years ago).

Our travel dates are 26th July .. 9th August'2001.

The opportunity to indulge in a little dinghy sailing would also be greatly appreciated (I have to build up a thirst somehow!)

Cheers,

Bob vG

Will keep you posted on developments ....
