As you're reading this I will be on a whirlwind tour of Cork and Kerry in the south of Ireland, discovering all that the 'Wild Atlantic Way' has to offer. Remember that amazing new job I told you about? It's all thanks to my new position that I will be attending a 'familiarisation' trip this weekend, hosted by Failte Ireland and Tourism Ireland.

Here's just a sample of some of the things I'll be getting up to...

Heading to Mizen Head, the furthest south and furthest west point in the whole of Ireland... [Edit: It turns out Mizen Head is neither the furthest south nor furthest west!]

And that's just a small selection of the things they have lined up for us!

Stay tuned to find out more about what I get up to - with this many activities planned I'm sure there will be plenty more posts on the region to come!

Which of these activities would you most like to try out?
