Running from Malin Head to Mizen Head

Hi Guys I'm hoping to pick some brains in the regional fora. I'm going to try and run from Malin Head to Mizen Head later in the year over the course of a week or so. Google throws us rather vague descriptions for potential routes ranging form 360 - 400 miles. It might not seem like much of a difference but when you're…

Hi Guys

I'm hoping to pick some brains in the regional fora. I'm going to try and run from Malin Head to Mizen Head later in the year over the course of a week or so. Google throws us rather vague descriptions for potential routes ranging form 360 - 400 miles. It might not seem like much of a difference but when you're running, it's an extra marathon and a half on a 14 marathon run.

The general concensus seems to be to go
Malin Head - Derry - Enniskillen - Longford - Athlone - Nenagh - Limerick - Mallow - Macroom - Schull - Mizen head
so I'm hoping if I post this in the revelant regional fora following this route, people might be able to advise me on the shortest road routes between the various points.

I'd also welcome any advice about food en route (restaurants that will do takeaway late, B&B's, early breakfast spots), roads to avoid, potential detours (e.g. where adding an extra mile might cut out a mountain) and really any local advise people might have.

Thanks in advance.
