Linda,

Most of your itinerary looks great. The only day that is too long is June 7. I suggest you choose Beara or Mizen not both. Even doing just one and then the drive to Kinsale will be a stretch so get an early start. Out the door of the B&B by 8:30. If the weather is not cooperative it will be best to skip Beara and Mizen.

Have a wonderful trip and do let us know how it goes on your return.

Michele

Linda,

     It's only a SMALL thing, but I think that you should 'DO' Connor Pass on Monday, enroute to Dingle, (assuming that the weather is good biggrin ) rather than Wednesday, when you plan to move on to Killarney.  While the Camp to Anascaul road does have it's charms, skipping it should save you driving time that can be better spent, either strolling along Inch Strand, detouring via Kilorglin, or to just idly enjoy the charms of Killarney. The Gap of Dunloe tour doesn't afford any tour time of Ross Castle, nor Muckross House, Gardens, or Traditional Farms.  You WILL have LOTS of daylight in early June, but many of the attractions will still be closing around 5 or 6 PM.  

Having to chose between Bearra and Mizen IS tough, but Michele is right (as usual!) that BOTH would REALLY make for a Marathon Day....hmm

Enjoy.  We'll be arriving in Cork, from Amsterdam, exactly one week after you leave for London.

Bob
