Experiences

Why ten days, not seven.

Seven days covers Connemara, the Burren and Donegal. Ten adds Wicklow as the warm-up and Kerry as the closer. Both extras change the trip. The Spinc warms the legs. Torc closes them.

  • Wicklow lets Day 1 mean something. Glendalough Spinc is a real walk, not a tourist tick-box.
  • Kerry lets the trip end on a summit. Torc Mountain on Day 10 is the right closer.
  • Three optional guided days. Wicklow tour, Connemara chauffeur, Cliffs Mercedes. All on the days that earn a driver.
