Ireland Coast To Coast Thru-Hike Ultralight Gear List: E8 Long Distance Trail

In 2020 I thru-hiked across Ireland, coast to coast from Dublin to Cork. It took about a month and was 400 miles/650km.

The E8 Long Distance Trail takes in The Wicklow Way, The South Leinster Way, East Munster Way, The Blackwater Way and sections of The Kerry Way and Beara Way.

If you prefer you can check out the same list on lighterpack.
