This year’s major trip will be the Ireland Two-week Coastal Trek. After spending 4 days working out the campsites and routes, it was time to start the mammoth journey. The first part will be the 5-hour trip to Fishguard.

Day one

The trip to Fishguard would end with us getting there about 7pm. We decided to try and get some sleep before the 2:45am ferry - sounds easy right! The first challenge was to find a place to sleep. The council has decided to make all the local car parks sleep-free zones, thanks local government. In the end, we found a pull in next to a graveyard. The only problem with that is the overhanging trees in the rain, the noise was so bad you just could not get any sleep!

As soon as 1am came along, we headed over to the port (5mins away) to book in. We checked in with the Premier booking, which meant that we got board first and had access to Premier Lounge with free coffee, snacks and Sky TV on tap!

Sounds good but with nowhere to sleep! Using two chairs, I tried to make a bed with not a great deal of success! (I so wish at this point we could use the bed in the dub!) We muddle through the night and docked at 6:45am.
