    1435 straight there and back.

    But I'll be doing a lap of Kerry, then riding to my sisters to return my niece, then a day around there, then home, so at least 2,500 minimum all in.

    Re: Whats your Mileage?

    Google says 1400miles on a motorway and Holyhead (outbound) route and a HUGE amonunt of retracing my route down to Lowestoft.

    Or 1410 on a motorway and Fishguard (outbound) route.

    I vote for the Fishguard route, which also has the benefit of avoiding the North Wales police gestapo.
    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.
    Yamaha XT660r - slowly getting it ready for some big adventures

    I vote for the Fishguard route, which also has the benefit of avoiding the North Wales police gestapo.
    the fishguard route is a 4 hour crossing and holyhead is 2 hour crossing, more miles can be covered on road then water. I would have thought the Holyhead would be the better route

    here is my route a triangle around UK/Ireland
