## EV Considerations
|
||||
Every location file should include an **EV Charging** section covering:
|
||||
- Rapid charger locations near key stops
|
||||
- Charging strategy (overnight vs. en route)
|
||||
- Known gaps or limitations (Isle of Man has a limited network)
|
||||
- Cannot charge on any ferry crossing
|
||||
|
||||
Useful tools: [Zap-Map](https://www.zap-map.com) (UK), [ESB ecars](https://esb.ie/ecars) (Ireland), [Chargemap](https://chargemap.com) (France/Europe), [A Better Route Planner](https://abetterrouteplanner.com)
|
||||
|
||||
## Wild Atlantic Way Direction
|
||||
**North to south** — starting near Belfast/Donegal, ending near Kerry/Cork before driving to Dublin.
|
||||
Official WAW direction is north→south. Cycling this way means headwinds on exposed Atlantic sections but the landscapes build dramatically as you go south.

## AI Instructions
|
||||
When extending this wiki:
|
||||
1. Follow the location file format above
|
||||
2. Number new files to maintain route order
|
||||
3. Focus on actionable, opinionated recommendations over exhaustive lists
|
||||
4. Cycling-specific info is a priority for Ireland sections
|
||||
5. Include practical ferry/transport logistics
|
||||
6. Keep the README.md navigation table updated when adding files
|
||||
7. Prefer official or well-known sources for links
|
||||
8. Wild Atlantic Way direction: the trip goes roughly **north to south** starting near Belfast/Dublin
|
||||
1. Follow the file format above — especially include an **EV Charging** section
|
||||
2. Keep numbering sequential to preserve route order
|
||||
3. Opinionated recommendations over exhaustive lists
|
||||
4. When referencing ferry bookings, always note if booking in advance is essential
|
||||
5. Wild Atlantic Way detail lives in `07-wild-atlantic-way.md` — for individual WAW stops, add subsections there rather than new files
|
||||
6. Update the README navigation table when adding new files
|
||||
7. Dublin (file 06) is the confirmed end-anchor — events on Aug 30/31 are fixed constraints
|
||||
8. The return leg (file 08) targets Sep 2 arrival in Walldorf — don't suggest itinerary extensions past Sep 1
