Simon,
I fully agree to that. However some money has to be earned to keep the
place going and the paths maintained.
Still I would keep to the original route of the WAW though with its
narrow roads if you are not in a hurry. It is generally well indicated
and leads you through unexpected very picturesque places. The bigger
main roads are not my cup of tea. We have done the route from Kinsale to
Donegal. The West-Cork part during the last 40 years as my wife is from
Cork, and last year from Kilkenny to Donegal. Perhaps this year we may
complete the trip to the end in Londonderry and carry on South along the
East coast.
