Fix file numbering: WAW is 06, Dublin is 07
Renumber all WAW files 07*→06* and Dublin 06→07 to reflect actual route order (WAW comes before Dublin). Fix all cross-references in README, .ai-context.md, Belfast, and WAW overview.

# Wild Atlantic Way — Overview
|
||||
|
||||
> **Type:** Long-distance cycling route
|
||||
> **Total length:** ~2,500 km (full route)
|
||||
> **Direction:** North to south (Donegal → Kerry)
|
||||
> **Best for:** Cycling, coastal scenery, cliffs, peninsulas, Gaeltacht culture
|
||||
|
||||
## What Is It
|
||||
The Wild Atlantic Way is a signed coastal route along Ireland's entire west coast — the world's longest defined coastal route. The west coast is the windward side of Ireland: constantly changing light, dramatic cliffs, remote peninsulas, and Irish-speaking (Gaeltacht) communities.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rough Timeline: Aug ~8 → Aug 28
|
||||
|
||||
**Deadline: Dublin by Aug 29** (game day Aug 30 at Aviva Stadium).
|
||||
|
||||
| Dates (approx) | Section | Days | File |
|
||||
|----------------|---------|------|------|
|
||||
| Aug 8–9 | Belfast → Donegal (transit) | 2 | — |
|
||||
| Aug 10–12 | **Donegal** | 3 | [06a-donegal.md](06a-donegal.md) |
|
||||
| Aug 13–14 | **Sligo** | 2 | [06b-sligo.md](06b-sligo.md) |
|
||||
| Aug 15–17 | **Mayo** | 3 | [06c-mayo.md](06c-mayo.md) |
|
||||
| Aug 18–20 | **Connemara** | 3 | [06d-connemara.md](06d-connemara.md) |
|
||||
| Aug 21–22 | **Galway** | 2 | [06e-galway.md](06e-galway.md) |
|
||||
| Aug 23–24 | **Clare** | 2 | [06f-clare.md](06f-clare.md) |
|
||||
| Aug 25–27 | **Kerry** | 3 | [06g-kerry.md](06g-kerry.md) |
|
||||
| Aug 28 | Kerry → Dublin (drive ~3h) | — | — |
|
||||
| Aug 29 | Dublin buffer day | — | — |
|
||||
| **Aug 30** | **College Football, Aviva Stadium** | — | [07-dublin.md](07-dublin.md) |
|
||||
|
||||
If you arrive in Belfast later than Aug 8: compress Donegal to 2 days (skip Malin Head), or cut the Aran Islands day trip from Galway. Kerry is non-negotiable — don't compress it.
|
||||
|
||||
## EV Strategy Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Section | Situation |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|
|
||||
| Donegal | Sparse — worst section. Base in Donegal Town for day trips. |
|
||||
| Sligo | Reasonable. Sligo town has fast chargers. |
|
||||
| Mayo | Patchy. Charge fully in Westport before Achill. |
|
||||
| Connemara | Gap: Clifden ↔ Westport (~90km coast road, no charger mid-route). |
|
||||
| Galway | Good. Tesla SC + ESB rapids. Full recharge stop. |
|
||||
| Clare | Reasonable. Charge in Ennis before Cliffs of Moher. |
|
||||
| Kerry | Good in towns. Full battery before Ring of Kerry circuit. |
|
||||
|
||||
See individual section files for detailed charger locations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Practical Notes
|
||||
- **Wind:** Prevailing southwest — expect headwinds on exposed Atlantic sections heading south. Plan shorter days in Donegal and Mayo.
|
||||
- **Workation bases:** Westport, Galway, Dingle, Killarney — best wifi and cafés
|
||||
- **Weather:** August is best but pack waterproofs — Atlantic squalls arrive without warning
|
||||
- **Gaeltacht:** Connemara, north Mayo, and Donegal are Irish-speaking. Signs are Irish-first.
