## 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

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.
If you want a full buffer day in Dublin before the game: compress Donegal to 2 days (skip Malin Head), which frees up Aug 29 as a rest day. Kerry is non-negotiable — don't compress it.
