Title: Irish summer time Post by: Nero-92 on August 10, 2012, 12:55:30 AM A few days ago the summer began in Ireland the sun shone for the first time in what seems like months so I hastlily organized a wee road trip out the Dingle peninsula the round trip is only about 100 mile but the views are stunning and the roads are tight and twisty and dry just what the doc ordered. So here are a few pics of the run hope you enjoy them.(http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j350/Nero-92/IMG_1809.jpg) The next parish is New York that way.

You guys drive on the wrong side of the road though. Title: Re: Irish summer time Post by: BMiller on August 10, 2012, 09:07:59 AM Thanks for sharing! Love the pics and I too hope to visit in the near future.

Driving on the wrong side of the road is one thing, but riding on the wrong side of the road is just scary. I rode when I was in Japan and almost ran head-on into traffic a few times.

It's been over twenty years since I've been there. Good people and good beer. Title: Re: Irish summer time Post by: The Don on August 10, 2012, 04:38:57 PM Beautiful shots, beautiful part of the world. Love your bike

Title: Re: Irish summer time Post by: ungeheuer on August 10, 2012, 08:53:17 PM You guys drive on the wrong side of the road though. Nope. Its YOU blokes who drive on the wrong side of the road [cheeky].There is no right side of the road really..... matter of fact its all right (cue the sound of a beating heart). Title: Re: Irish summer time Post by: IRISH on August 11, 2012, 04:07:51 AM :'( Homeland..... Title: Re: Irish summer time Post by: Nero-92 on August 11, 2012, 12:20:38 PM If anybody is going to visit pm me with time of trip and I'll try and meet up. I know that most people who come to Ireland never get very far from Dublin but the west coast is the most beautiful part and well worth the effort to to get there.

Title: Re: Irish summer time Post by: robin on August 16, 2012, 07:21:24 AM Wow, that's beautiful! My husband started playing hurling this year with some Irish lads and is talking about taking a trip. Looks like it'd be an unbelievable place to ride... if i could get my mind wrapped around being on the wrong side of the road.

One of the game’s tactics is to just beat the hell out of a guy to distract the opposing team so that your player can go undefended to score a point! Awesome! |
