    Hi was wondering if any one tried camping on the Aran Islands Inis Oirr trying to plan a trip away with the kids during the summer.
    I was wondering though if any one ever been there and done it as they say and what would you recommend to bring with you, as you cant bring the car so getting it all over when you arrive off the the ferry!

    Also how much is it to rent bikes for a few days while we are there, is it better to bring our own food over with us, is the shop expensive on the island.

    any tips or advice very welcome, I'm trying to reassure my DH that we will manage to get every thing on the ferry with the kids LOL :D

    Thaks in advance:)

    Is that campsite open again,then?
    I went there a few years back with 3 preteens.Had a ball.I seem to remember the food was pretty ok in the hotel bar.
    Yeah the shop was pricey and basic,but we caught a lot of mackerel!!
    Hope ye get the weather.No advice really except to bring as basic a camp as ye can manage-I hate hauling stuff around!
    Are the children of an age that they can carry their own stuff?

    edit to say Maybe post this on the 'West' forum-might get more knowledgable answers...

    Yep I rang up to double check 10 euro a night per tent great value for money. its the hauling stuff around thats putting off my hubby the two oldest would manage but the younger two would manage a back pack and thats it.
    Must add the fishing rods in to the must bring pile LOL


    Thanks for replying :)

    Outdoor Pursuits is probably a more suitable forum
