A friend and I are borrowing a C172 some time in August and going over to Ireland for 5 days. Neither of us has ever been there. Has anyone got any hints, advice, nice places to go? What about the paperwork; I know we need to file a flight plan, but do we need to clear customs, notify Special Branch (is that for Northern Ireland?), do anything else? Where are nice places to land and stay - we both like quiet places and "interesting" airfields. I read the recent article in Flyer and Bantry looks good - 400m with water at either end, great fun. Any more like that?
(Incidentally, for those of you who know how little f/w flying I do these days, fear not! My friend is a 1600+ hour instructor, and she has been known to switch into teaching mode if I really take on more than I can handle safely, or forget I'm not in a helicopter
