    I don’t think you’d go too
    I don’t think you’d go too far wrong heading south to Sligo, the North West Trail covers some amazing coastline and skirts some of the big loughs too. It’s 326km so a decent stretch as well http://www.sustrans.org.uk/webfiles/leaflets/Sustrans_NWTrail_web_Aug08.pdf

    my mother-in-law’s family is from round there – she’s a Quigley from Quigley’s Point, proper local. Last time we were out there I did the 100-mile loop of the peninsula, it’s all signposted and very lovely. Malin Head’s a bit blowy though 🙂

    don’t go south, get the ferry across to Moville on the Inishowen peninsula and go round the top to Malin head and down to Letterkenny. It’s wonderful up there 🙂

    i think you mean the Somport… the Portalet is the next one along.
    If you do an out and back to the top of the Aubisque and over the marie blanque you might even get a metric century into the deal…
