Had a brill time touring around there Sept last year. Probably go back again same time this year in our warrior. We found that clearing Special Branch requirements at IOM was quick and easy on way over. Nearly got caught out with early closing in Eire at 5pm at some airfields, so always check first.
Donegal was great, ATC man even gave us a lift to his home for lovely B&B at £18/night! Flight to Sligo next day along the coastline should not be missed. Arran Islands, super fun, but watchout for the holes on the grass parking area, the rabbits use JCBs! Kerry and Galway, big, standard, but good local facilities and great scenery. Weston flying club very friendly and helpful prior to our departure back over the Irish Sea to Blackpool for another easy and quick Special Branch formality clearance. You will not fail to enjoy yourselves ! Will try and post you a piccie when I can sort it out to whet your appetite !
