This my first post.

We live on the West coast of Ireland. Connamara is on our doorstep and we have some lovely mountain walk and National park near Letterfrank.
We have many Blue flag beaches.
We have some Campsites along the coast. The price is around €20 to €25.

We are in our early sixtys. We travel mostly to France in May for 2 months.
Neil works part time ans is self employed.

Yes we been too alot of the beaches in Mayo Sligo, Donegal, Clare, Kerry and Cork.
The beaches around Westport/Louisburg are often empty.

We might met up someday on the roads of France. Do you use the Aires?

Let us know when you coming to Connamara and we can met up for a chat.
Do you know what part your daughter in law parents lives?
We went to Portugal in Feb for a month to a Apt. Never again we were to confine, even though we hired a car. You live and learn.
We stayed in Twinlakes May/June 2006. Was that you in the corner at the back. We all had a drink that night. Cannot remember name of man who runs it. Was very helpful to us as we needed to fit Tap in kitchen.

We don't tour in the winter but we try to go out every other weekend in the summer. When we go to France we usual go for 2 months. At the moment we are ready to build after downsizing so don't know how often we get out this year.
Ireland is beautiful if we were sure of the weather. We had a great May so far. Long may it last. Hope you get away in your motorhome as often as possible.
