Coffin Trail Achill
This is as good as it gets. On a good day the views are amazing and the trail flows. Short. Don't drive too far to get there. But try and get there. Just watch out for the vertical sea cliff a foot from the trail on the way down. Drive to mast. Take in views. Get on bike. Up over summit. Descend amazing trail and switchback down to beach. Eat sausages in campervan. Go surfing in perfect 3ft swell. And then hit Westport for night and next day if alive push bike up craogh patrick for your sins and desent from summit as punishment.(reward)
