HI Guys

This is a totally random request. I was contacted by a reader of my blog recently who is from Italy and he and a group of 10 friends are looking to come to Ireland on a walking holiday, and they want to take in as many breweries as possible. The crux. Walk to each brewery.

I was thinking that surely the breweries are too far apart geographically to do this as they have a daily limit of 20km, would you be better saying to them to maybe hit up Cork? as there is a good concentration there.

Any help here would be appreciated. I've a loose idea in my head over where they should go.

The barrow river valley is a big walking are, there is also O'Hara's

You could probably put something together for there site below

Hmm, might be a nice GIS analysis task to calculate some catchment areas and route optimisation (I'm not volunteering, yet) <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Ha, yeah its a bit of a mad one, there really isn't from my knowledge enough brewery's in one catchment area that they could walk to each of them. There will have to be some public transport used.

For that reason i was thinking Cork.

Quite a lot in one county but there is large distances, eg greater than 20km
