Hello everyone,
My girlfriend & I are planning a trip to Northern Ireland in May, for 15 ish days and we would like to do and see many things :
- Trad climbing (easy and not so scary, to have fun in the mountains / nice and remote places), up to 5b/c (french grades, as I'm not really privy to the UK grades).
- Hiking / Mountaineering / Scrambling (up to D/D+, french alpine grades). Shall we take our ice climbing equipment to be in the mountain in May?
- If possible a little bit of sport climbing and bouldering, from 5c to 7c.
- Visiting some beautiful castles and nice cities/villages as well.
So we saw that Fair head was the place to go, and we saw videos of people climbing in Donegal and it looked otherwordly. So we planned to stay in those areas for 15 days in May. Do you think it fits our goals?
How are the accomodations here? We are used to outdoor camping and harsh conditions in the mountains, but for holidays, it could be nice to have a comfy bed once every 3/4 days.
We were planning to rent a car for the whole trip. How are the accesses to the crags? Do we need a 4x4 vehicle?
