Will be heading over to Dublin in the summer and fancied riding this canal out to Shannon Harbour. I hear some sections are a bit overgrown and wild. Does anyone on here have any experience of riding this canal, and on booking ferries from Liverpool or Holyhead; the online booking is seriously beginning to annoy me now :¬)
Cheers, Rob
Anyone?
I commute along a bit of the grand canal (from naas to clondalkin) and its mostly rideable. the section nearest naas wouldnt be fun on a loaded touring bike, its doable on a cross bike, and the grass is generally around knee height.
I've no experience of it further inland, but i would imagine it would only get worse the further into the midlands you go.
Thanks mate
