This week's day out in Ireland

http://www.bearatourism.com/things.html

Would challenge the idea re the most scenic place. Pretty good though

First time i went I was living in West Cork so a long drive and was not terribly impressed.

Last year I went in at the Kenmare end then out via Glengarriff and still was not all that keen,, Did not do the whole Ring but cut across the Healy Pass which freaked me out. It is a Famine road ie built by starving men fighting to feed their families and being paid almost nothing for a day slaving in that bleak place.

Desolate and hopeless and even thinking about it ... yukk..

Will find a different way and come out near Kenmare again...and there were abundant berries there!

Not at all, at all
