I came up with this idea just one evening sitting at home. I have a vague recollection of this event but there was once a show on TV where the contestants were attempting to drive through all 32 counties in Ireland in 24 hours, getting their picture taken at each county border sign.
Both myself and Laura love to get out and see things so I came up with the idea of seeing all of Ireland's 32 counties, getting our pictures at each border sign (as above) but also seeing something of interest in those counties. A highlight if you will. For example Co. Clare could involved the Cliff's of Moher, Antrim could involve the Giant's Causeway. We haven't sat down and actually planned anything yet but we both want to do it and look forward to it. It is a great excuse to get out and do stuff together (not that we need one) while also enhancing our cultural experiences and seeing more of our homeland.
There are (I am ashamed to admit it) several counties I have never been to but I will put this right. We have not set ourselves any time limit, nothing silly but instead want to enjoy various weekends away, seeing what Ireland has to offer without rushing the experience.
Where first? Well we are heading to Wexford for a weekend away together on the 19th of June so where better to begin. The National 1798 Rebellion visitor centre is in Wexford so that could be our highlight? We will decide when we get there.
