Although we haven't finalised the route yet - here is a quick map to give you an idea of the nature of the beast we intend to tame.
The plan is to start at Malin Head right up at the top and then spend 6 days getting down to Mizen Head, right down at the bottom.
Conventional wisdom states that you really should do it the other way round due to some reason involving likely prevailing winds. However we are doing it north to south due to three carefully considered reasons:
1. The weather is going to be absolutely shocking either way
2. Surely the natural slope of the Earth is in our favour
3. We fancy getting hammered/cremated in Cork at the end.
In exciting technological news there is also a dynamic Google Map that you can peruse which (once we have sorted it) will have the route on it, as well as points of local interest such as nature reserves, historical landmarks and hospitals.
