Yeah just back from there,

here's where I stayed...

Car park in Clonakilty Town... good for town centre... at the first roundabout go for town centre and then take the first right inot a car park with the blue P sign and I parkled up the end at the school... 1 other camper was there too... no problems... just make sure the country market is not on the next morning as they start putting up tents at 6 am!!

Inchydoney strand.... my personal fav.... several campers there... go to inchydoney from Clonakilty (narrow enough in places) and tke the road to the hotel and then head for out... don't park in the hotel car park but instead in the large one on the road out past the surf school.... Gards came in a did a drive around and passed no remarks to anyone..

Tragumna outside Skibbereen looked like a perfect spot but I didn't stay as I was heading home..

Stayed in Skibbereen in the car park opposite the church and walked to a pub called Kearney's Well for a few nice pints! Nice and quiet

That happens a good bit up in Rossespoint Sligo. If you have a spot on the edge of the park (where the sea view is) you also get in house entertainment most weekends of twin cam shams checking out each others muffalers.. (or what ever you call them)
Very Very SAD.
If you ever go west then check out Gurteen Bay just outside Roundstone, Co. Galway. Prob the best site I've been too. (most weekends!) Right on a white sand beach. Fab for wind surfing, swimming, fishing etc.. O2 network doesn't work (don't know about the rest of them) so you are really cut off. You could hear a pin drop after 11pm. Bonus is its open all year because of the mobile homes.

Stayed in Skibbereen in the car park opposite the church and walked to a pub called Kearney's Well for a few nice pints! Nice and quiet( no 3G but GPRS worked fine but slowly)

Actually above post just reminded me of something.... Internet is very important to me and my business needs me to have access most of the time..

I've included where had vodafone 3G cover above

Some boy races are utter twats but on the whole most of them are OK and would do anything to help you out if you were stuck.

The jeeps I'd say the jeep was driven by somebody older and not some kids. I'd love to have pulled the van over blocking the exit and called the cops. But I wasn’t that brave

Can you see the court report in the local paper. Tom Knuckle Head fined 100 euros a bound over to keep the peace for intimating behaviour and playing in porn out if his vehicle at 1 in the morning in a remote car park. Also in the vehicle was a younger un named male…
