Thanks for the advice folks. It's been a while since I've "done" the west coast. I used to go on holiday to Dingle every year without fail when I was wee (if we weren't in Donegal) so I'm looking forward to returning. The Other Half was always on holiday in Achill, so that decided our start and finish points. We haven't been for a while though, hence the request for info.
alison - I've always wanted to get out to the Skelligs, and to the Blaskets too. Perhaps this time I'll finally get!
mooman - whereabouts in Connemara are you going?
