Oh, man, heaven! We hiked, motored all over western Ireland. Stayed in B&B's and a great hotel in Kilarney. Hike'd/fly fished in the big national park there. I'm a musician and play Celtic pub sessions here and always wanted to do it there...and got several chances. The place is vastly different than England, however, with the Euro and the gigantic growth going on, old Ireland is going away fast. Visit soon if you have a hankerin' too. I'd like to go back and do a long hike of some of the trail systems there. We hit the high points, but didn't camp. The Dingle and Kerry regions mostly. The little towns are space perfectly for overnight stays at very reasonable B&B's....but Ireland under the stars would be a whole different take.


Whisky in nalgene...a 1 pt. Platypus bag makes the perfect flask and imparts no bad taste at all.

I didn't read all of the posts here but the plastic pint bottle that different sprits come in make great for carring your favorite plus they can be used to carry stove fuel. Just make sure to mark em.
