All,
First my apologies for misleading you over sheet sleeping bags. Re -reading the notes with the booking confirmation clarifies that it is ordinary sleeping bags which are banned - the YHA type sheet sleeping bags are OK. Otherwise one can hire sheets and pillows at 2 euros per night. This in any case only applies at Tra na Rosann as bed linen IS included in the price at Errigal.
The hostel at Errigal, which is miles from anywhere, offers a 2 course evening meal at 14 euros for groups and a 5 euro continental breakfast, if prebooked. Do you wish me to pursue this and/or make a booking. I dont know the definition of a group but would hope we would be acceptable.
Update 16th May:
Further to above, the Hostel Manager advises that a group is 15 to 20 strong so a party of 6 does not count. Its just not our day - see first comment.
There is, however, a shop next to the Hostel which sells a range of food sufficient to make an evening meal. Even so, we'd better have some emergency rations just in case.

I have discovered that the Lough Swilly Ferry from Buncrana to Rathmullan is not running this summer so we shall have to get from Londonderry to Tra na Rosann on 26th via Letterkenny which adds probably 15 miles or so to the day making a possible 50 or so miles that day.
ReplyDeleteWe shall pack our own rations then as I am sure Derry will have a Tescos even a Morrisons perhaps!
ReplyDeleteBy the way how much per head per night in Euro at these YH in Eire?
I will bring 125g of Cook-in-Bag rice. A large meal for one or very small for six.

The cost is different at the two Hostels (Errigal, being 5 star, is more expensive) but the total for the two nights was 216 euros for all 6 of us. That's 36 each - if memory serves that was 16 at TnR and 20 at Errigal.
