I'm looking for other coastal routes and plan to cycle Grand Tour de Manche (around English Channel) using NCN2 and Eurovelo4.  Anyone else tried this?

Andre Jute:
Thank you for a wonderful report. I live on the Wild Atlantic Way, but new eyes see anew.

The finger raised off the steering wheel is a common greeting in the Irish lanes; it is polite to nod or smile back or raise a finger off the handlebar. It is also polite to greet strangers, even women walking alone out in the countryside. And if the police stop when they find you under a signpost, they're not being aggressive; it is just in their upbringing to offer help with directions -- the older sergeants can still remember when every policeman at a country station was supposed to have his own bicycle to chase sheep thieves.

Small tip: Beara, not Beera, though admittedly they are easily mistaken for each other unless one speaks with special emphasis on the pauses: bee-eh-rah.

trailplanner:
Thanks Andre,  Beara corrected.

More reason to visit Ireland again to improve my pronunciation and spelling.  There are so many nooks and crannies still to explore on the WAW.
