    Most insurance policies will cover you for 30 days outside of Ireland but ring your insurer just to check. Make sure you have your insurance cert and VLC with you.

    The cops in North Wales are always out in force on the A55 so keep to the limits.

    Never done Hplyhead, but given the price of UK petrol, I'd rather do less driving and more sailing. Consider Dublin port to Liverpool (Birkenhead) and then you don't have to drive in Wales! :D
