Is it ridiculous to consider driving from Sligo to Letterkenny and back daily?

    I used to drive to Sligo daily for work a few years ago and didn't mind it, though you can often get stuck behind traffic from ballybofey into the gap

    I don't mind driving but the winter months were much more bleaker and tiring. It was dark for most of the journey

    As other posters have mentioned it was quite expensive on fuel and you rack up alot of mileage hence wear and tear on your car

    Its certainly do-able and the road is quite good on the Donegal side but not great through Grange etc

    Hi There,
    OP just came across your post and I have a girl living with me who used to commute from Letterkenny to Sligo, she found it incredibly difficult as she was doing a really demanding course too, so she is now renting from me and I think she is much happier...
    PM me if you want advice on places to live, rent is so much cheaper here than the likes of Dublin!

    I think you'd be mad.

    It would be tiring enough in good weather, but you would be shattered if it cold and slippy, you would be so tensed up when you finish your trip.

    Took me around an hour and a half most days, it depended on Road works which weren't that often, but it still adds 3 hours to your day
