EAST IRELAND CHALLENGE JULY 11th-17th 2011

Well here ya have it folks.....
The East Ireland Free Travel Challenge 2011


It all begins in Dublin City on the 11th of July and takes us down south to Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford and back up to the Big Smoke within 6 days.

The itinerary has been drafted up and the challenges have been tentatively set.....

With no money in our pockets, not a cent to our names, utterly pennliless... we will be endeavouring to survive on our wits and limited skills, relying on our best puppy-dog faces to get us through!

Claire here and together with my trusty companion Sadhbh we will be undertaking any challenges we are faced with in order to earn our keep in some of Ireland's very own Independent Holiday Hostels. But a bed for the night is not all we will be bartering for; we'll need grub, we'll need transportation and most of all we'll need the good will and generousity of the people of the east coast of Ireland.

You may have followed us two years ago on our Free Ireland Travel trip in Cork and Kerry (if not, you can scroll back a few pages on the blog to get up to speed!). We spent 6 days travelling around the south without ever needing to reach for our pockets. It shows just how accommodating people can be in Ireland and how, if you have the desire to travel and explore the country, you can do so without worrying about how much it will cost you- it will cost you as much as you want it to cost you!

Stay tuned for the unfolding of the week that lies ahead!
