I have opted to call this day, Day Zero. That’s really because it is a day that doesn’t count. The WAW starts in Muff, Co. Donegal or Kinsale, Co. Cork depending on whether you are travelling north or south. Given where I live that meant a few hours travel either way and as I had opted for the South – North route it meant travelling to Kinsale, Co. Cork from Northern Ireland, about 30 miles north of the border. So I had about a four hour trip ahead of me. About 260 miles.
Pretty much all of these 260 miles were on dual carriageways or motorways and passed through 3 toll roads, each one costing a whopping 90 cents each. Not a big deal on one trip but I can see how this could easily mount up for local commuters. Thank goodness we don’t have any toll roads in Northern Ireland. Yet.
I was all packed and ready to go, with only one problem, rain. It had been raining all day and although not heavy, when you factor in travelling into it face first at 70 mph it wasn’t all that appealing. The rain continued, and continued, it became a case of having to go regardless. So off I went.
Just by way of a quick update I have finished my trip of the Wild Atlantic Way in 1 Week.
It was an epic journey along the West Coast of Ireland and I will be posting a full ride report very soon, but in the meantime please have a look at my Twitter and Instagram accounts where you will find a large selection of photos using the hashtag #WAWIn1Week
I will also be uploading my complete route from my GPS in case anyone fancies doing the same route.
If you do fancy doing it let me know as I am considering am starting a wall of fame for the adventurers who complete this journey in the timescale.
Further to my previous posting in relation to advertising spots available for my forthcoming #WAWIn1Week Trip I am pleased to share with you all the Pannier Slot availability. Please note this is subject to change and operates on a first come first served basis.
Please contact me to confirm and provisionally book availability.
WAWIn1Week Pannier Advertising Slots
The process is very simple :
1. Contact me and inform me of the positions you would like. There are two options.
a. A single slot.
b. A twin slot, which can only be a pair. So for example 2 and 2b, or 7 and 7b. Combinations of slots will not be accepted.
2. I will confirm availability and provisionally book you that slot.
3. You will then have your vinyl advertising stickers made up and sent to me.
4. Upon receipt your slot will be confirmed and your stickers added to my panniers.
5. Away we go.
A few other points…
Firstly Why!?! Thats simple this is my first such trip, but hopefully not my last. If I can cover this trip with some form of sponsorship, and this is shown in the associated media, it puts me in a much better position when the next trip comes along so I can approach people with a proven track record and hopefully some good reports from the sponsors, who knows next trip it may even be my current sponsors (you) who cross over to the the new plan! And also importantly I won’t forget my original sponsors when it comes to offers for the next trips, oh and of course there will be no expectation from anyone involved this time round to stay around. People always say if it is too good to be true it probably is. This is good and true, neither of us have anything to loose. I am looking to the future and trying to build a reputation and you are being given the opportunity of free advertising along the World’s Longest Coastal Route in Peak Season!
I am offering this as a freebie, from me to my sponsors. Therefore it is not open to everyone or everything. Put simply I am interested in motorcycling, tourist, travelling, well branded and trusted advertisers, but am more than open to helping out newbies in these industries.
No adult material will be accepted.
No pro / anti political, sexual, lifestyle, religious, non religious, sectarian, bigoted, racist, or in any way questionable (by me or otherwise) material will be selected. After all it is a freebie on my bike so to avoid any confusion, I have the ultimate and final say, if you don’t like that I’m sorry but you can always pay for your advertising elsewhere and then have the rights associated with it.
No contract is being made between me and you, I am offering some free advertising for you along a brand new tourist attraction, the longest coastal road in the world. 1500+ miles of free advertising along with my social networks and tagging etc. If I don’t make it, have to stop or turn around and quit I’m sorry but sometimes real life gets in the way. After all you have lost nothing it was a freebie.
I don’t want this to sound in any way negative it should be a great trip so let’s get it rolling rolling right.
With my #WAWIn1Week trip rapidly approaching I am looking some sponsors. Basically I am offering your company’s branding on a spot on my bike / helmet.
Believe this when I tell you the deals I am offering are unreal and start at… FREE!
Yes indeed… FREE!
I am offering limited sponsor spots for free on the panniers of my bike, so if you are interested in having your brand tour along the World’s Longest dedicated Coastal Route and one of the hottest places in the world to be right now please get in touch.
Spaces are of course very limited and all applications will be considered however my decision will be final and you contact me knowing and accepting that. No adult related sponsorship requests will be considered!
