24 June to 4 July Northwest Ireland Donegal and the Inishowen Peninsula £340	Donegal is in the Republic. This most northerly part of Ireland is the most unspoiled; with its dramatic hills and coastal scenery it has some similarity to the west of Scotland. What the area also has is an excellent network of quiet minor roads, many by the coast; these can be hilly at times. We will be driving to Donegal in the BikeBus but will have a day en-route cycling in Dumfries and Galloway. Accommodation will be hostel style. Luggage and bikes will of course be carried in the BikeBus.	Harry Henniker: 0131-229 6274 bike.bus@virgin.net To book or for more information contact the organiser or click below for full details.
