# AI Context — Roadtrip Wiki
|
||
|
||
## Purpose
|
||
Personal travel planning wiki for a workation road and cycling trip. Lives on GitHub, designed to be extended by any AI assistant.
|
||
|
||
## Trip Overview

|
||
- **Vehicle:** Electric car

||
- **Departure:** Tuesday, August 4th, 2026 (early morning — must catch daytime ferry)
|
||
- **Return:** ~September 2nd, 2026
|
||
- **Nature:** Workation — working remotely while travelling
|
||
|
||
## Route (in order)
|
||
1. **Walldorf → Hoek van Holland** — drive to port, no stops needed
|
||

|
||
5. **Isle of Man** — 2–4 days sightseeing
|
||
6. **Isle of Man → Belfast** — ferry; start Wild Atlantic Way from the north
|
||
7. **Wild Atlantic Way** — cycling/driving north to south (Donegal → Kerry), ~3 weeks
|

|
||

|
||
- **Sep 1:** Dublin → Cherbourg overnight ferry
|
||
- **Sep 2:** Home in Walldorf
|
||
|
||
## 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.

|
||
|
||
## EV Charging
|
||
- Specific charger locations
|
||
- Strategy for this stop
|
||
|
||
## Practical Info

```
|
||
|
||
## AI Instructions
|
||
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
