Thank you and I will check that out!Head for the North of Lough Derg, crossing the Shannon at Portumna, and onto Lahinch via Gort, Kilfernora.
You could consider the N7, crossing the Shannon at Ballina/Killaloe and head across Clare.
Done both routes to Tuamgraney and Ennis. Slightly longer second route, with the first giving you the option of heading for Galway.
Thanks for looking at that for me and I will reroute!I'd be tempted to stay on the R353 just after the 165 mark
