## 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
