The Grand Canal- Backpacking

RancherGirl · 2018-07-08 22:23:52

I will be traveling to Ireland next year to backpack the Grand Canal into Shannon Harbor. I was curious if their were any areas appropriate to camp in along the trail? Any tips on the trail and places to stop are appreciated!

I was originally planning to take the Grand Canal route out of Dublin, but then changed to the Royal Canal because it worked better for our final destination. I did order a guide book on line, but do not have a need for it now. If you would like it I can mail it to you. My email address is neutronguy@hotmail.com
