Based on a tour by Tyler Folsom and Fran Solomon in August September 1998. Location From Limerick south along the west coast, then east, ending in Dublin. The Romans got as far as Scotland. When they looked across to Ireland, the weather was always dreadful, so they didn t bother to invade. July and August should be the warmest months.
Rainfall is plentiful and unpredictable.
We found that early September temperatures in Ireland were comparable to early October in Seattle. Transportation Irish rail carries bikes on almost all routes except for Dublin commuter trains. We brought camping gear but did not use it. Typical costs in a double room are 14 to 20 punt per person. The National roads can get a bit busy but can be used where needed.
