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.
Google says about 1428 for me, i can live with that after the last couple of TLD outings![]()
874 Miles in one day...need a bit of a rest first!
3459 Kms or 2162 miles, taking the non scenic routes.
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
Hmmmm
planning a bit of a scenic route to return so Google maps says
2256 miles plus minus a few U turns

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 routeI vote for the Fishguard route, which also has the benefit of avoiding the North Wales police gestapo.
