Road Trips in Ireland: The Ultimate Guide
Lisa Ryan
#Itineraries
Nothing beats the freedom of exploring a new place on your own personalised road trip. The freedom of the open road, set against a backdrop of the picturesque Irish countryside. Stopping off where you like, seeing exactly what you like, meeting welcoming locals and enjoying Ireland at your own pace – sounds like the perfect holiday to us!
That's why we've put together our ultimate Irish road trip guide, complete with route maps and our top picks for where to stop along the way. Whether you've got a few days, a whole week or even longer to spend here, these spectacular driving routes are all great scenic alternatives to the main roads, with no shortage of great attractions en route.
Ireland's best road trips
From the rugged Wild Atlantic Way to the Causeway coastal route, check out our suggestions for what to see and do on each of the routes:
Causeway Coastal Route
Ready to map out your Irish adventure with the best road trips to take in Ireland? Varying from two to seven days in length, these routes cover many of the top destinations in Ireland and each itinerary provides day-by-day highlights.
Practical information for your Irish road trip
But first, read on local pointers and driving tips below. Then all you have to do is sort the car rental at Dublin airport (and get your road trip playlist ready!)
How to get to Ireland
The best place to start your road trip through Ireland from is Dublin, due to the sheer number of direct flights that arrive here daily from around the world. You can pick up your car right at the airport and immediately start your road trip. Or you can head into the city first, spend a day or two there and then kickstart your road trip. (Whichever option you go with, you should definitely set aside a bit of time to explore Ireland's capital.)
For UK road trippers: Flights from London take just over an hour and you can snag seriously cheap tickets if you book ahead. You can also fly to Dublin from most other UK destinations and pick your car up from Dublin airport, which can save significant amounts of time.
If you have more time to spare, you can drive your own car to Ireland. There are two ferry routes that operate between the UK and Ireland (Liverpool to Belfast and Liverpool to Dublin). If you're planning on bringing your car from the UK, make sure you're adequately insured.
For US road trippers: Any of the usual major hubs (New York, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco) offer direct flights into Dublin either daily or multiple times a week.
For European road trippers: There are direct flights to Dublin from all major European airports.
Including restored castles, manor houses, elegant hotels, self-catering cottages, authentic B&Bs and budget-friendly hostels in the major cities and smaller towns across Ireland, there is no shortage of places to rest your head in Ireland.
If you're looking for quirkier lodgings, there are even lighthouses, treehouses, barges, bubble domes, yurts and ringforts (!) peppered all across the countryside.
When to do an Irish road trip
Honestly, there isn't a bad time of year to take a driving tour of Ireland. Very often, the weather does not actually differ that much from season to season. The changing seasons do bring a variety of activities, and it all depends on what you want to include in your itinerary. And believe the hype – you can experience rainfall any time during the year! So be sure to pack an umbrella and some waterproof outerwear.
Most road trippers like to make their way over to the Emerald Isle sometime between May and September (with peak season falling between July and August), which is when we tend to have the best weather and the most daylight hours.
Low season typically falls from November through to April, so planning a road trip during that time period comes with some perks, including shorter queues at attractions and the possibility of some discounted airfares, car rentals and accommodation.
How long does it take to drive around Ireland?
This really depends on how much you'd like to see and the pace at which you travel. Although the country is small, Ireland is the kind of place where you could travel around for weeks on end and still feel like you've only scratched the surface of what's there to see and do.
The more days you can spend here, the better, but anything from a week to 10 days means getting to experience a good chunk of the island. A shorter trip in all likelihood necessitates focusing on a specific region (all the more reason to make a return trip, though!)
4 of Ireland's best road trips
One of the best ways to discover Ireland's stunning countryside, rich heritage and culture is to get behind the wheel and set off on a scenic self-drive tour. Here are some of our top picks for road trips you can take around Ireland.
Whether you choose to spend a few days simply cruising around (in which case, pick whichever option best suits your trip timeframe) or a couple of weeks really exploring the length and breadth of the country (why not combine a handful of these?), the possibilities are endless.
Route 1: The Causeway Coastal Route (2 days)
Running through the magnificent landscape of Northern Ireland, the route owes its name to the mysterious geological formation and boasts some of the wildest, most dramatic scenery imaginable.
Unsurprisingly, the Causeway Coastal Route is ranked by independent sources such as Lonely PlanetLonely Planet as one of the best drives in the world. It's also a good alternative if you have the Wild Atlantic Way on your all-time travel bucket list but you're tight on time.
120 miles (321km)
M1, A2, local country and coastal roads
M1 toll (can set GPS to avoid the toll in Northern Ireland)
Best Irish road trip for: Game of Thrones fans, coastal views.
Recommended itinerary for the Causeway Coastal Route
Day 1: The Dark Hedges, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and the Giant's Causeway.
Make sure you hit the road early, so you have enough time for some seriously Insta-worthy photo opps at the Dark Hedges (better known as the King's Road in HBO's Game of Thrones) before the tourists descend en masse.
Just a 20-minute drive away from here, you'll come across Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Time to steel your courage and lace up some sturdy footwear for a swaying, wobbly trek across this incredible suspension bridge. Perched 100 feet above the Atlantic ocean, with views of nearby Rathlin Island (and even Scotland on a clear day), this 350-year-old bridge was built by local salmon fisherman and offers unbeatable views of the rugged Antrim coastline.
After this, it's onto the main event: the Giant's Causeway, one of the world's geological gems and Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site. Standing in front of the strange and eerie landscape of tens of thousands of large black basalt columns feels like stepping into a storybook. You'll soon start to understand why Irish folklore has it that the causeway was built by two feuding giants!
Day 2: Dunluce Castle, the Glens of Antrim and the Gobbins
Start the day with a leisurely drive to North Antrim and the sleepy coastal town of Dunluce to see one of Northern Ireland's most iconic castle ruins. Stand and soak in over 500 years of history – Dunluce Castle has witnessed some of the most dramatic chapters in Ireland's past, including its fair share of clan raids. Game of Thrones lovers – this is definitely one not to miss, as Dunluce Castle was also used as the seat of the House of Greyjoy in the series.
If you're keen to head a little off the beaten path, then a drive through the Glens of Antrim will have any scenery enthusiasts grinning from ear to ear. All nine glens are known as some of the most scenic driving roads in Ireland – and deservedly so. Towering mountains loom overhead as you wind your way through this majestic part of the county. If you fancy stretching your legs (and seeing waterfalls up close and personal), Glengariff Forest Park is the perfect option for a road trip pit stop.
If yesterday's adventure gave you a taste for more cliff adventuring, the Gobbins is your chance to take in even more of Northern Ireland's coastal scenery. A two-mile-long cliff-face walk featuring an array of bridges and caves and tunnels (oh my!) carved into the cliffs, there are even a few puffins to be spotted for the sharp-eyed birdwatcher amongst us.
Route 2: Ring of Kerry (3 days)
Where better to escape by car to than Kerry? With some of the country's best beaches, Kerry is the perfect destination for a summer break and should be at the top of your Irish road trip bucket list. This grand tour of Kerry takes you to all of the county's best sights and places. You'll drive through Killarney National Park, travel to iconic islands like Valentia and have plenty of opportunities to stop off along the way.
M7, local country and coastal roads
M50 toll (if departing from Dublin)
Best Irish road trip for: Families, wildlife watchers, nature lovers.
What's the drive like? Yes, you can easily drive this route in one day. But the better option is to take your time and stretch it across a long weekend while doing some sightseeing along the way. Oh, and drive carefully as the road is narrow in parts (and tour buses tend to drive fast!)
Recommended itinerary for the Ring of Kerry:
Day 1: Skellig Ring and Valentia Island
The Skellig Ring might just be Kerry's best-kept secret. A relatively undiscovered corner of the Irish coast, it features an additional 20 miles of natural splendour you can easily tack on to your Ring of Kerry driving route. Get ready to soak in dramatic vistas of the Atlantic ocean and the Kerry cliffs.
If time permits, we recommend getting out from behind the wheel to explore some of the charming historic villages (we especially love Ciall Rialaig famine village), empty beaches, castles and plenty more surprises along the way.
The Skelligs and Valentia Island are scenic islands known for their rugged and dramatic landscapes. While no Kerry driving trip is complete without a spot of island hopping, do bear in mind that they're both popular tourist destinations. It's no secret that Skellig Michael, especially, can get very busy, particularly during the summer months when large numbers of avid Star Wars fans descend upon the island (yep, this was where Luke Skywalker was hiding out for all that time in The Force Awakens!)
Day 2: Killarney
Absorb stunning mountain landscapes and glittering lakes as you travel through the majestic scenery that Killarney and its surroundings has to offer. If you're looking for lush countryside, make sure to stop at various points of interest to and from Kenmare. If historical castles are what you're after, then swing by Ross Castle and Muckross House.
For outdoor pursuits and family-friendly activities, why not try a hike to the Gap of Dunloe, Torc Waterfall or a wildlife tour through Killarney National Park? If you can extend your journey by an extra day or two, taking the time to really explore this park would be our top recommendation.
Pro tip: If you kick off today's drive from Kenmare and drive clockwise around the ring of Kerry, you'll avoid being caught behind the many tour buses that frequent this route.
Day 3: The Dingle Peninsula
Along the Ring of Kerry route lies the Dingle Peninsula. Running 40 miles from Tralee to Slea Head, the peninsula follows a coastal fringe of tranquil beaches overlooked by soaring mountains. Iconic castles, prehistoric ring forts, early Christian chapels and much more line the route.
A worthwhile overnight stop is the delightful fishing village of Dingle, where you can feast on freshly caught seafood and take in one of the town's world-famous traditional Irish music sessions.
Route 3: Ireland's Ancient East (5 days)
If you're planning your Irish road trip and thinking about d(r)iving into 9,000 years into the past, look no further than Ireland's Ancient East. When it comes to historical road trip destinations that are both entertaining and educational, this one's hard to beat.
M50 (if departing from Dublin), local country and coastal roads
M50 and N8 tolls
Best Irish road trip for: History buffs, castle-spotters.
Recommended itinerary for Ireland's Ancient East
Day 1: Glendalough
Looking to make the most of this weather-beaten ancient landscape? Then it's time to don your hiking boots and get ready to soak up the peaceful vista at Glendalough (Valley of the Two Lakes), located around an hour away from Dublin city centre. Things to look out for include the medieval monastic site, complete with a 1,000-year-old round tower. This iconic part of Wicklow is packed with history and legends and plenty of flora and fauna highlights along the way.
The full walk to the top of the valley takes approximately three hours and is reached with some scrambling in the final stages, but provides panoramic views that are second to none. Trust us, you'll want to take some time up there at the top to soak up the scenery! Of course, there are also several beginner and moderate trail options to choose from depending on the incline or length you're after.
Day 2: Kilkenny
If you decide to make Kilkenny City your next stop along Ireland's Ancient East, then you're in for a treat. It's relatively small and walkable and very easy to navigate. Once you've arrived, the charm of the city will make you want to stay forever. The Medieval Mile is a series of cobblestoned alleyways lined with small coffee shops and pubs and the perfect spot to while away the afternoon.
Kilkenny Castle, nestled into the heart of the city, was built following the Norman conquest in the 12th century and fell into disrepair over the centuries until it was renovated in the Victorian era. With its lush parklands and landscaped gardens, this castle couldn't be better placed for anyone looking to stretch their legs and have a leisurely picnic.
Days 3 & 4: Wexford
Today, you'll kick things off with a walking tour of Wexford Town, founded by invading Viking forces in 800 CE. From haunted mansions (Loftus Hall) to centuries-old places of worship (Tintern Abbey), Wexford's historical sites serve as a window into the county's past.
Just outside of Wexford town, you'll find the National Heritage Park, an open-air archeological museum that reconstructs over 9,000 years of Irish history. And why stay at another run-of-the-mill hotel when you can hunker down for the night in one of their 1,500-year-old ringforts?
Day 5: The Boyne Valley
Looking for a place that's even older than the Pyramids? How about Stonehenge?
Just a couple of hour's drive from Wexford lies the last place on our route – Brú na Bóinne in Co. Meath, a neolithic burial ground that encompasses three passage tombs: Newgrange (a UNESCO World Heritage Site which aligns with the winter solstice), Knowth and Dowth, home to some of the finest examples of megalithic art in the world.
Onwards from here, it's a mere half-hour drive to the legendary Hill of Tara, the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland. And if time permits, it's well worth making a sunset stop at Trim Castle, where scenes from Braveheart were filmed.
Route 4: The Wild Atlantic Way (8 days)
We've saved the best for last. After this epic 8-day drive, you'll feel like you've genuinely seen our beautiful country. Spanning 1,600 miles of jagged coastline, rugged wilderness and superb beaches, it goes without saying that this one-week route is a stunner, all the way from Donegal to Kinsale in Cork.
Tolls
1,600 miles (2,600km)
Local country and coastal roads
Best Irish road trip for: Coastal views, wildlife watchers.
Recommended itinerary for the Wild Atlantic Way
Day 1: Donegal
This country of coastal villages and gorgeous outdoor scenery makes for a truly inspiring start to your Wild Atlantic Way road trip. Drive along the coastline and explore the cliffs of Sliabh Liag, before heading for a closer look at the enchanting Glenveagh Castle and (one for any wannabe surfers) our favourite secluded beach of them all, Dunfanaghy.
Day 2: Mayo
It can be so easy going between the Wild Atlantic Way's big-ticket sights that you miss out on the beauty of the wild countryside all along the Surf Coast. This is an absolutely captivating drive, and is ideal for those who want to take a break, walk around and breathe in the fresh salty air.
Achill is the largest island in the county and features beautiful nature, sandy beaches and cliff-edge hikes for everyone to enjoy.
Days 3 & 4: Galway
From Mayo, the logical (and most eye-catching) route lies on the drive through the Sligo coast, down to Clifden and through idyllic, wild Connemara in the 12 Bens mountain range. Connemara is best known for two things: the rugged landscape and the almost impossibly adorable Connemara ponies that have made this corner of the world their home.
Those less enthused about equestrian life can press onward down the coast to Galway City, the artistic, bohemian beating heart of the island. Take a bracing seaside walk along Salthill or the Spanish Arch. Galway Bay is also the most straightforward route out to the three remote Aran Islands (Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer), easily reachable by ferry.
While it's hard to narrow it down to one must see while you're island hopping, if we had to, it'd be the Iron Age fort Dun Aonghasa.
Day 5: Clare
Going a little further inland, today is the day you witness one of the strangest, most unique landscapes Ireland has to offer visitors. The Burren National Park is truly something to behold. A massive expanse of rocky pale grey limestone, the Burren was hewn by glaciers many millennia ago and forms a sharp contrast to the lush green parklands surrounding it.
Up next, the Cliffs of Moher. Road tripping along the Wild Atlantic Way without witnessing these outstanding and breathtaking cliffs is simply unthinkable (just remember to pack a windproof jacket, things are about to get pretty gusty!)
Days 6 & 7: Kerry
We've a whole separate itinerary for Kerry above so we're not going to go into too much detail here – just jump up to that section for a deep dive into what to cover on this section of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Day 8: Cork
Finishing up your road trip with a bang, the last day culminates in a stop at The Old Head of Kinsale, before continuing onward to the sleepy coastal village of Skibbereen. Finally, you'll meet Ireland's most south westerly point, Mizen Head. Time for an exhilarating walk down the cliffs and you've officially done it, coast to coast!

Lauren Holly hasn't always been known to surround herself with dead bodies. Before she was armed with a scalpel in hand on ABC's gripping drama Motive, stealing hearts and minds with her forever young approach to life, she earned notoriety for her role as heartbreaker Mary Swanson in Dumb and Dumber.
Yet, despite similarities in some of her characters, the Toronto-based actress and mother of three isn't willing to settle for the quintessential Hollywood typecast part. In fact, her eclectic career ranges from the whimsically comical to darker and mysterious roles. For the charismatic woman who is hell-bent on leaving opportunities to fate, it can be said that Holly is one of the rare and few actresses in the television and film industry who can have her cake and eat it, too.
While she has already starred in a number of headline grabbing films and shows throughout the years, like NCIS, What Women Want and Any Given Sunday – an accomplishment that many in her line of work can only dream of – her captivating acting career continues to escalate at a rapid pace, leaving one to wonder what she'll have up her sleeve next. Currently, Holly has several new projects slated to be released in the next two years, including a role alongside Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld) in Hoovey.
But acting isn't the only thing that keeps this Sarah Lawrence graduate on her toes. The charming and refreshingly natural actress also has a fashion agenda (and no, we're not talking about her upcoming role in After the Ball). Holly has teamed up with Le Château, a fashion company founded and based in Québec, Canada that puts an emphasis on European style, to cultivate a trendy line of "cool girl" clothes. Tapping into her continually blossoming artistic side, this New York native emphasizes that her acting priorities aren't shifting, but that she is also shining the limelight on everyday style.
Recently, Holly spoke to GALO not only about her hectic acting career, but also gave us an inside-look into her new fashion line. Read on to find out what she had to say.
GALO: Could you tell GALO readers a little about yourself, perhaps what you like to do when you're not in front of the cameras? I read that you spend the majority of your free time with your kids. What are some of your favorite activities to engage in during your breaks from work?
Lauren Holly: Seems like the past couple of years, I've had very few breaks — a dream for an actor! One of the benefits of commuting cross-country for Motive is those air miles — we've been saving them for something special. The four of us [Holly's kids] love a good adventure. If we hike, we usually add in some danger — crossing rapids, scaling a wall with our dog on my back, anything that we can embellish around the dinner table to have a good laugh. So we are going to take a big trip soon, something that could be life-altering. When I was 12, I went to London, England with my parents. I think that trip ignited a creative passion in me. I'm hoping the trip we plan will do something similar to my boys. We've decided that it is between two [places]: the Galapagos and Machu Picchu or the Far East — Japan. Who knows what we'll be talking about after something like that!
GALO: You've worked on cutting-edge dramas such as Any Given Sunday and top box-office comedies like Dumb and Dumber. You've also held more than one role in the world of television, which is constantly evolving and fast-becoming a powerhouse in the industry due to its innovative and film-like productions. Do you prefer one creative genre over others in either film or television, and do you have a penchant for a certain style of acting that is related to only one field?
LH: Both have their benefits. When one works on a series, it is for many months at a time. It becomes your family. Births, deaths, weddings, divorces — we all go through a lot together. In movies, it's fun to dive into a character for a brief amount of time and then get to move on. It adds variety, a chance to stretch a bit.
GALO: I understand you declined a female lead position for Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Did you feel that taking on the role would negatively affect the hallmark of your cinematic style, or was there a different reason for your refusal of the part? Have you rejected a role since that moment?
LH: Half of the time I'm either saying no to a role or waiting for someone else to. I think we all get the parts we are supposed to. Even when I've been devastated that I was told no — when I see it, I get it. I've said no for so many reasons, some would probably be surprising, all of them forgettable. The only thing I remember and hope for is saying yes.

Council discusses parking, Memorial weekend
By Michael Hart - Special to the Sentinel
MIDDLEPORT — Middleport Council reviewed Memorial Day festivities and traffic flow in their May 22 session.
Council discussed parking enforcement on the "T" exiting the ATM/bank. It was noted visibility and the safe egress were impaired by crowding cars.
Mayor Sandy Iannarelli relayed concerns of nearby businesses that parking had become limited in the area, but agreed with councilperson George Hoffman's assessment "we this council voted on it and approved it, and we ought to enforce it."
Council previously approved limiting parking in the area to address safety concerns.
Councilperson Richard Vaughan pointed to other nearby available parking, and suggested adding a painted crosswalk for pedestrian safety.
Meigs County Historical Society Co-Director Vicki Hanson and President Shannon Scott added their organization to the list of Memorial Weekend events in the village. They invited the public to view buildings in downtown Middleport recently donated to the society and considered for an eventual relocation.
Hanson said "We are excited to come to the community," and discussed the volunteer efforts that would be needed to realize the potential of the buildings. In the meantime, Scott mentioned other initiatives, saying he would "like to get something going for the kids, that's important to me."
One of the buildings, the former Thomas Do-it Center, will be open noon-4 p.m. Saturday for residents and visitors to visit and see the work that will be taking place in the building to prepare it for the museum.
Mayor Iannarelli added a public plea for any circulating Middleport or Meigs artifacts to be donated to the museum.
Mayor Iannarelli reviewed the Memorial Weekend events in Middleport, including the Meigs Senior Center tour for Middleport graduates and open houses at newly established businesses Tuckerman's and Yellow Umbrella. She thanked the many individuals and groups who participated in beautification projects downtown, including the Masonic Temple for extensive painting, Farmer's Bank donations, and Tim Smith for his work on flowers in the park.
"And I just can't tell you all the people, the businesses, doing good work keeping the sidewalks clean," she concluded.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Middleport Village Council in June 12 at 7 p.m. in the Middleport Municipal Building.

Hobbs Building Systems
Andrew Hobbs, president and founder of HOBBS Building Systems, credits the Business Innovation Zone (BIZ) with putting him on the right track in finding a way to expand his business in a manageable manner. HOBBS Building Systems, an Urbandale maker of exterior wall systems, is enlarging its sales territory from the Midwest to the continental United States and Canada. "I was struggling with the best way to distribute the systems," Hobbs said. Hobbs considered selling directly to dealer-installers, but that would have meant dealing with hundreds of individual companies.
Mike Colwell, executive director of the BIZ, suggested working through wholesale construction product distributors, instead. The distributors know their market areas, and have a ready-made list of dealer-installers that might need Hobbs' product, sold under the name HOBBS E-Rated Walls. Working through distributors, Hobbs is able to reach a broad market, while dealing with a smaller number of companies. It's faster and more cost-effective than trying to contact hundreds of dealer-installers directly. "It's a great business model," Hobbs added.
HOBBS Building Systems is a virtual company, built around an innovative design that Hobbs created for energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, pre-fabricated exterior wall systems. He has a patent pending on the product. The system, designed for residential and light-commercial buildings, includes a concrete form made out of plastic foam, with studs attached to the form's inner wall. Concrete is poured into the form to create a concrete wall below or above ground. The foam form remains part of the finished building to provide insulation. With the studs already in place, work on installing interior wallboard can begin quickly.
A Green System
Hobbs says his system is long-lasting, and more energy efficient than competing systems, and uses 43 percent less concrete. Most of the components are made of recycled materials. "I have the greenest system on the market," Hobbs said. Based in Urbandale, Hobbs founded his business in 2005, deciding that he could design a better system than those already on the market in a product category known as insulated concrete forms. He spent 18 months developing his system and then began selling it. He contracts with suppliers in various parts of North America to manufacture the components of the system. The system is assembled on the construction site. Born and raised in Marshalltown, Hobbs attended Marshalltown Community College before beginning a career in sales and management in the construction industry.
Hobbs Building Systems and the Biz Q&A
Q: How is it that you turned to the BIZ for help?
A: I started looking for state programs and assistance in 2006 when the company was getting to the level to be able to expand in North America and abroad. The Iowa Department of Economic Development referred me to the BIZ.
What is really important is that I want to maintain my business here. I'm Iowa born and raised and I want Iowa to continue to be my home and base of operations. I have a really strong personal conviction to support Iowa. I hope to get to the point where the company could be expanded to produce more of the components locally. I have an 11-year-old son that I hope to turn the business over to one day.
Q: Was the BIZ helpful to you?
A: Extremely. Mike, with his level of corporate experience, has been able to help me not only as a mentor, but to connect me with other resources — networking resources of people and services to help build the company.
Q: Did the help from the BIZ help your company reach a higher level?
A: Yes. It's definitely been a good experience working with Mike. He's a good sounding board. He can help me look at things from different perspectives before making decisions.
Q: Where are you now in the development of your business?
A: We're in what we consider Phase 3. Phase 1 was developing the product: taking it from concept to prototype, doing product testing, doing market research and establishing the supply chain.
Phase 2 was selling and installing products and fine-tuning the design in central Iowa. Phase 3 is expanding sales and marketing throughout North America and abroad. Phase 4 will be creating additional product lines or finding additional lines that complement our current product offering.
Q: What is the outlook for your business?
A: The industry growth is significant because of the push toward green construction. My system is environmentally friendly. It uses no wood and a building using our system typically will use 50-70 percent less energy. Federal regulations will require buildings that reduce the amount of energy needs. We're really in a wonderful position to offer a product today that can do those things.
Q: Is help from the BIZ ongoing?
A: We've signed a one-year agreement for Mike to work with me and we can renew it. The BIZ membership has been the best investment I've made.
Q: How do you feel about the help that you got through the BIZ?
A: It's been a great experience, bouncing ideas and being directed toward other resources for help. Mike referred me to the Institute for Physical Research and Technology at Iowa State University for physical structural testing of our wall system.
Q: What is the eventual goal of your business?

Somersault Festival promises a weekend of "stripped-back happiness" with "Summer sounds and outward bounds". It definitely delivered. After a sold out début last year, touting big names such as Ben Howard, Jack Johnson and Nick Mulvey, this year provided even more excitement with Bombay Bicycle Club, Crystal Fighters, Laura Marling and Passenger all taking headline slots.
Changes from the opening year include a team up between Communion Music and BBC Introducing, supplying a list of newcomers teeming with talent. Minimalist rock two piece Honeyblood whipped up a Scottish storm before indie-pop songstress Lucy Rose proved a perfect ending to the first night. She showed off material from her sophomore album Work It Out and even Bombay Bicycle Club frontman Jack Steadman couldn't resist seeing her set. Hotly tipped as future indie-rock sensations The Big Moon and Haus tore up the Communion Stage during the bright and sunny Saturday.
Music aside, Somersault is full of West Country heart. Relaxed and magical, it is set in a spot of secluded natural beauty with a tiny bit of reality thrown in thanks to the A361 as a back drop to the main stage. Cutting the festival straight down the middle is the River Bray, which meant a lot of festival goers took a delightful (but freezing) dip. The festival also offers a whole swath of outward bounds activities including surfing, mountain biking and horse riding.
If the outdoor adventure life isn't for you, there's the wonderfully talented Gorilla Circus trapeze act which was sensational to say the least. If you have a spare £40 lying about then Campfire Feasts provide a wide array of fresh food from celebrity chef Valentine Warner but if not then there is still a plethora of food at your disposal. After testing 17 food stalls, I can safely say that no stall disappoints at Somersault, whether you want paella, a hot dog or even just some fresh lemonade, they have it, and it is GOOD.
So once you have burned off the meals by mountain biking and surfing, it's time to head to the main stage to catch the headliners and some of the finest talents that Somersault has to offer. Folk sister-trio The Staves eased their way into a chilled pre-headliner slot with their sweet overlapping harmonies, suitably followed by Laura Marling.
Rae Morris struck gold at Somersault with her delicate vocals raining over the crowd before rockabilly legend Imelda May added her joyful and crazed twang to the main stage. Everything was set up for the Saturday headline act; Bombay Bicycle Club. Bringing out their pals Lucy Rose and Rae Morris who have both lent vocals to the indie four-piece in the past, the boys absolutely smashed their set. The band finished by announcing that this would be their last show before hiding away in the studio to put together a new album.
The final day of main stage music set up an interesting mix of two headliners; Passenger, you know, (the guy with that song) and the all-dancing all-crazy Crystal Fighters. The singer/songwriter surprisingly drew everyone in with his brash honesty and peculiar charm and by the end it was impossible not to have a soft spot for him. Electronic-pop-indie-folk band (they have been described as everything at one point or another) Crystal Fighters made everyone forget about the rain for a couple of hours with their Basque love and big beach balls (which eventually got covered in mud).
Somersault is a fantastic, family-friendly festival in the heart of the West Country. Hopefully there are many more successful years to come.

Marxist Bulletin No. 3 – Part I
1962 Split in the SWP Revolutionary Tendency
Letter from G. White to G. Healy
[San Francisco Bay Area]
Dear Comrade Healy,
Since your letter to me of October 25th, Comrade [Philips] has returned with what he and you consider to be a solution to our internal difficulties. It is admittedly a drastic one, amounting as it does to the effective expulsion of the majority of the New York tendency.
The first question raised, therefore, is the desirability and necessity of disposing of these comrades. Comrade P. was extremely firm about this, and also quite definite that he was speaking in your name as well, which fact gave weight to his arguments that they would otherwise have lacked.
I am convinced, Comrade Healy, that on this question you are mistaken.
Comrade P., during the discussion here shifted his grounds for demanding this action. His initial position was that the New York comrades had characterized the Party as centrist, and therefore would, by a process of logical necessity, be led to an attitude of indiscipline, of split, and would in fact become destroyers of the Party. However, when it was pointed out to Comrade P. that Comrade J. and myself are also on record with the same characterization and that many of the comrades here support this view, and when he was asked if we too were to be "disengaged" from the tendency, he vehemently denied any such intention. We had not acted as wreckers, he said, but the New York comrades in question had.
The discussion on this point then shifted to a series of specific charges of misconduct brought against the leaders of the New York tendency majority. After an ample presentation, not a single one of the sixteen comrades present stated that he regarded these charges as proved and as the basis for disciplinary action. All but two, one of whom did not speak at all, expressed themselves as opposed to action on the basis of these charges. I think this response is eloquent testimony. No responsible organization would tolerate such drastic action on such a flimsy case and without the accused being granted the right to appear in their own defense. I am sure you would never permit such a procedure in the League.
Thus it seems to me that both bases for the removal of these comrades must fail—that based on political opinion because it is not to be applied uniformly, and that based on overt acts because, on the basis of the evidence presented, they must be regarded as unproved. I have always considered these comrades as key members of our tendency. Not only is my opinion in this respect unchanged, but my regard for these comrades has been increased by the manner in which they have responded to what I must consider an unprincipled attack accompanied by an abuse of command of the lines of communication to you.
Before leaving the question of New York, there is one other observation I would like to offer for whatever it may be worth. I have known Comrade R. [Robertson] since 1958, and worked with him in the Oakland-Berkeley branch in 1958 and 1959. We were then on opposite sides of most political issues, whose merits are irrelevant to the present case, and our relations were generally rather hostile. Therefore when I first heard, this summer, through Comrade W. [Wohlforth], of the open factionalism existing in the New York tendency, I was not predisposed to view R's role favorably. Being sceptical and forewarned, I do not think I could have been easily bamboozled. Comrade R. hits hard in a fight, and I am sure he has in this one. However, after the most careful scrutiny of the situation, or such elements as were available to me here, I found that Comrade R.:
gave no indication of attempting to spread and deepen the factionalism in the tendency
at no time in his dealings with us advocated or carried out undisciplined acts or attitudes
at no time advocated or sought to lay the groundwork for a split from the SWP
in all cases where I could check made reports which were not only factually correct but what is more to the point, conveyed on accurate impression of the real situation, which same I cannot say in all cases for his opponents.
Parenthetically, let me say that the picture of R. the anarchist presented by Comrade P. is simply too absurd to be taken seriously, and was so received by the comrades in this area.
The avowed purpose of your statement, the separation of these comrades from our tendency, would be reason enough to oppose your proposition. But your blow goes beyond this and strikes where, according to Comrade P., no blow is intended. According to points four and five of your declaration, and as confirmed by Comrade P., the tendency will in the future consist only of those who actually sign this document. Obviously there are statements in it to which a large number here, perhaps a majority, cannot subscribe. Much has been said to the effect that you and the European comrades are serious people, and this is very clear to us. Apparently it is not also clear to you that we too are serious people. Very well, it is up to us to demonstrate to you by our actions that we are, and we shall try to do so. However, no serious political person will commit political perjury, and that is precisely what you are asking of us. I, like all the others who have any differences with points one to three of your document, declare unequivocally that I will abide by its line if it is democratically adopted by our tendency. I would go further and say that if it were officially adopted by the I.C., even over the protests of an American tendency majority, this too, though I would consider it a bad procedure, I would accept. What we will not do is to lie, to perjure ourselves before our tendency comrades and the Party. If we did, we could never raise our true views, and no comrade, knowing what we had done, would ever in the future be able to give us his trust and confidence.
Therefore, regardless of the merits or demerits of your case against the New York tendency majority, we regard this technique as absolutely impermissible. I know that these feelings are shared by many, if not all, of those who would fully subscribe to points one to three of your document.
I have just heard, unofficially, that Comrade P. has suggested a possible alternative solution: an immediate vote on all the documents and the election of a national steering committee on the basis of proportional representation. I would assume that such a proposition would have two corollaries:
wiping the slate clean of past charges and counter-charges
the establishment of discipline on the basis of the line of the tendency majority, whatever that may turn out to be.
If I understand this proposal correctly, it may be a solution which could leave us with a viable tendency, and I most strongly urge it upon you.
However, should you and the others follow your present course through to the end, you will force a split. For myself, regardless of what may be your attitude toward the non-signers, I would do all in my power to hold together an organization, to seek reunification of the tendency, and to attack loyally and energetically the tasks before us. I am sure that this attitude is shared by most and probably all the minority comrades here who under no conditions will sign this statement.
Finally, the sharp contradiction between your known aims and the actual effect of your last proposal I can only interpret to mean that you are deeply and seriously misinformed. In your last letter to me you called for moderation. I quite agree. Now I call for caution. How well informed are your sources? If they were well informed about the Bay Area would they have run head on into a 17-0 defeat?
It is my profound hope that the unanimity of our rejection of points four and five of your document will encourage on your part a reexamination of the situation in the American tendency, leading to a change in course which will make possible the most effective and rapid creation of a revolutionary tendency in America.
Comradely,
Geoff White

Q: Calculating the derivative of ${10^x-1 \over x}$ using the limit definition I've been stuck for the last couple of hours trying to calculate the derivative of $$f(x) ={10^x-1 \over x}$$
With the limit definition of the derivative: $$\lim \limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) -f(x)}{h}$$
I just can't get rid of $h$, I think I'm missing an important formula here.

A: Follow the limit definition of derivative
$$\begin{align}
f'(x) &= \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{\frac{10^{x+h}-1}{x+h}-\frac{10^{x}-1}{x}}{h} \\
 &=  \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{10^x(x(10^h-1)-h)+h}{h} \cdot \frac1{x(x+h))}
\end{align}$$
Now you can split limit over sum and use $\lim\limits_{h\to 0} \frac{a^h - 1}{h} = \ln a$ to get:
$$\dfrac{10^x (x\ln(10)-1)+1}{x^2}$$

A: $\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{\frac{10^{x+h}-1}{x+h}-\frac{10^{x}-1}{x}}{h}=
\frac{x10^{x}(10^h-1)+h-h10^{x}}{x(x+h)h}=\frac{1-10^{x}}{x(x+h)}+\frac{x10^{x}}{x(x+h)}\frac{10^h-1}{h}$.
You know first term converges to $\frac{1-10^x}{x^2}$. For the second term use the same argument as for first part and l'hopital's rule for $\frac{10^h-1}{h}$.As both parts have finite limit, the limit of the product is the product of the limits.

'Dark Deals' Out 11th March Ahead Of New Ben Hemming Album
Big I Am
LEAD SINGLE 'DARK DEALS' OUT 11th MARCH AHEAD OF NEW BEN HEMMING ALBUM 'BROKEN ROAD'.
'Broken Road', the new album by Ben Hemming, although slightly lighter in tone than it's breakthrough predecessor, 'The Devil Beside Me', still follows Hemming's dark and cathartic songwriting, developing a maturity that marks his fourth album to date.
As implied in the title, the album is about journey and progression and the troubled paths in which life can lead us. "I guess the journey is as important as the destination" he explains. "With this record I really wanted to develop my style while keeping faithful to the music that has taken me this far. I suppose the album is about the twisted path life can take you on, you can have an idea where you want to end up but getting there is often a different story. The songs deal with the range of emotions that can accompany you on that journey, isolation, despair, loss of self, but also reflection, evolution and ultimately, hope."
The result is a collection of songs that have developed to a new level of musical maturity from previous albums. A land mark recording full of the lyrical poetry and imagery that stands Ben Hemming apart from others, while still retaining the rawness of emotion of past releases.
Returning to Velvet Recording in Norway, the scene of 2017's 'City of Streets' and working again with producer Nick Terry (The Libertines, Ian Brown, Klaxons) Ben Hemming has tried hard to keep his roots close at hand while pushing out into new territory. "I feel I've surrounded myself with people who understand what I'm trying to achieve in my music. It's a safe environment that has really helped develop my songwriting to the next level. I guess I found the self-belief I've been looking for.''
Ben Hemming, at the forefront of the U.K. Nu-Blues scene, is continuing to bask in the limelight with his new album 'Broken Road' set to be released on June 17th 2020 with the first single 'Dark Deals' (see below) being released on 11th March.

Coronavirus: Donald Trump finally wears mask in public – BBC News
Jenna 6 months ago No Comments
Share To WIN
US President Donald Trump has worn a mask in public for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
The president was visiting the Walter Reed military hospital outside Washington, where he met wounded soldiers and health care workers.
"I've never been against masks but I do believe they have a time and a place," he said as he left the White House.
He has previously said that he would not wear a mask and mocked Democratic rival Joe Biden for doing so.
But on Saturday he said: "I think when you're in a hospital, especially in that particular setting, where you're talking to a lot of soldiers and people that, in some cases, just got off the operating tables, I think it's a great thing to wear a mask."

A panel of experts from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has recommended that cytotoxic chemotherapy doses (both oral and intravenous) should be calculated according to the actual weight of obese cancer patients, especially when the goal of treatment is cure. The guidelines were published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The panel conducted a systematic literature review and found that approximately 40 percent of obese cancer patients are being undertreated by chemotherapy. Optimal chemotherapy doses are typically calculated for body surface area (BSA), which takes into account both weight and height. In practice, however, it appears that oncologists more often calculate chemotherapy dose on the basis of ideal body weight rather than actual body weight. As a result, many obese patients are not receiving optimal doses of chemotherapy, which could negatively affect clinical outcomes. The inadequate dosing is likely the result of longstanding practice patterns as well as concerns about adverse effects.
Chemotherapy dose should be based on a patient's actual weight, especially when the goal of treatment is cure.
Treatment-related toxicity should be handled the same for both obese and non-obese patients.
When a dose reduction is necessary, the panel recommends resuming the full weight-based dose for subsequent cycles if the toxicity has been resolved. There is no evidence that obese patients need greater dose reductions than non-obsese patients.
The use of fixed-dose chemotherapy is rarely justified, except for a few select agents.
The bottom line—suboptimal chemotherapy doses could compromise survival in the curative setting. As the obesity epidemic continues to escalate, research will likely be ongoing to evaluate proper dosing for obese patients with cancer. In the meantime, doctors are advised to calculate full weight-based chemotherapy doses for obese patients. If you are obese, speak with your physician about your chemotherapy dose to ensure you are receiving the proper dose for your weight.

As my entry title says, it's good to know that we (the VB team) are not alone. Moving VB to the CLR was a major undertaking involving many, many, many dilemmas along these lines. Even though C++ and VB are two very different languages, I have a lot of empathy for what the C++ team is going through as they struggle with these questions. It's not an easy path to trod.

At Least 22 Palestinian Families To Be Forced By The Israeli Municipality To Leave Their Old City Homes
The Israeli occupation municipality in Jerusalem issued yesterday a notice of eviction against seven Palestinian households in the neighborhood of Bab al-Silsila (Chain Gate) in Jerusalem's Old City after claims their houses are on the verge of collapse due to cracks in the walls, which Palestinian say were caused from Israeli excavations under the houses.
Adnan Ghaith, the Palestinian Authority's governor of Jerusalem, told WAFA news agency that the chance of collapse and the cracks in the buildings were the result of excavation carried out by settler organizations with the support and protection of the Israeli government in an attempt to give Jerusalem a Jewish identity while displacing its Palestinian residents.
Rashid Zahdeh, a resident of Bab al-Silsila, said that 22 families may be forced to evacuate their homes. He said that seven families have already been told to evacuate their homes as soon as possible while the remaining families are expected to get the notices in the near future.
He said that the Israeli excavations at Bab al-Silsila, which is one of the gates leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque, are going to displace 200 Palestinian residents of Jerusalem, which he believes is an intentional policy to force remove Palestinians from the Old City under various pretexts and replace them with Jewish settlers.
Haneyya: The Issue Of The Palestinian Prisoners Is High On Our Agenda
Head of Hamas's political bureau Ismail Haneyya has reiterated his Movement's keenness on having the Palestinian prisoners released from Israeli jails, describing their issue as "high on its agenda."
Haneyya made the remarks during a telephone conversation on Friday with ex-detainee Alaa Abu Jazar, a resident of Rafah who was released last Wednesday after spending 17 years in Israeli jails.
The Hamas official pointed to efforts being made to extract the prisoners' freedom, hailing their steadfastness against the harsh incarceration conditions in Israeli jails.
Haneyya has been on a foreign tour for nearly one month, during which he visited Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Iran and Oman.

Israel Displaces Jerusalemite Family After Forcing It To Raze Home
The Israeli occupation municipality on Friday forced a Jerusalemite citizen to demolish his own house in Jabel al-Mukaber neighborhood at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
Ammar Nassar, the homeowner, had to demolish the house after the municipality gave him until next Tuesday to raze it, or else he would have paid exorbitant money to the Israeli occupation authority if it had carried out the demolition.
A family of six individuals, including four children, was living in the house and they have no other place to live in.
The municipality had already forced Ammar's brothers, Maher and Mohamed, to demolish their own homes in the same neighborhood last week. The measure led to the displacement of 15 individuals, including 11 children.
Israeli Police Assault Worshippers At Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque
On Friday, Israeli occupation police stormed Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and assaulted Palestinian Muslim worshippers.
Witnesses said that thousands of Palestinians rallied at the mosque compound following the Fajr Prayer, chanting slogans slamming Israeli intrusions into the site.
They added that scores of police officers who stormed the site chased and assaulted the worshippers, inflicting bruises and contusions to dozens, including the elderly.
Police opened fire towards the worshippers participating in the rally, injuring at least five with rubber-coated steel bullets.
Local sources confirmed that the casualties received medical treatment at the scene.
Police also sealed off Bab al-Asbat, which leads to the holy site, and hindered worshippers' access to the site through Bab Hutta.
The rally came in line with calls for worshippers to en masse participate in the Fajr Prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque and Hebron's Ibrahimi Mosque in protest of settler' intrusions and Israeli schemes to Judaize them.
Messianic Jewish settlers are hoping to establish an increased presence on the site of the Al-Aqsa mosque, among the most important Muslim shrines in the world and potent symbols of Palestinian nationalism, and calling for building a third temple on what they term the "Temple Mount".
Their far-right beliefs were once considered a small fringe movement, but in recent years, they have found favor in the administration of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, receiving the endorsement of many lawmakers.
Settlers incursions into the mosque compound coupled with the takeover of church property in Jerusalem are perceived as part of the plan to transform a multi-religious and multi-cultural city into a "reunified" Jewish city under the exclusive control and sovereignty of Israel.
Israeli Troops Detain Three Palestinians From Bethlehem
On Friday, Israeli occupation troops detained at least three Palestinians from the southern West Bank district of Bethlehem.
Local sources confirmed that Israeli forces conducted a raid into Bethlehem city, resulting in the detention of two Palestinians, including a former prisoner.
Israeli soldiers also rounded up another after ransacking his family's house in a raid in Njeim village, located to the east of Bethlehem.
Israeli occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost on a daily basis across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for "wanted" Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.
According to Palestinian figures, roughly 5,700 Palestinians — including numerous women and children — are currently languishing in Israeli detention facilities.
Israeli Forces Arrest Finnish MP, Activists On Gaza Border
The Israeli occupation forces on Thursday detained five Finnish citizens, including a member of parliament, for allegedly attempting to cross the fence separating the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories and the blockaded Gaza Strip.
According to Israeli media sources, the Israeli forces detained Anna Kontula, a Finnish MP, and four other humanitarian activists, for trying to cross the fence in protest at the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
For its part, the High National Committee for the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege in Gaza condemned the arrests and expressed solidarity with the detainees.
The Israeli occupation forces confiscated the Finnish detainees' passports and cell phones and interrogated them in preparation for their deportation to their country by force.
The High National Committee called for protecting the activists from Israeli harassment and asked human rights organizations around the world to make similar steps against Israel's racist policies, especially the unjust blockade on the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation in 2006 imposed a tight blockade on the Gaza Strip closing all crossings connecting the enclave with the outside world through Egypt or the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948. The crossings are only opened partially in certain times and for limited periods for the entry of goods and passengers.
Ashrawi: Israel's Silent Annexation Of 'Nature Reserves' Is Reprehensible And Criminal
The decision by Israel's so-called Minister of Defense, Naftali Bennett, to expand and create "nature reserves" in the occupied West Bank is a blatant act of annexation and land theft that violates international law and basic Palestinian rights, on Thursday said Hanan Ashrawi, member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
"These so-called reserves are the practical application of Israel's accelerated and de facto annexation, land grab, and colonization targeting Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley. Israel is carrying out silent annexation of Palestinian land to ensure the permanent denial of the Palestinian people's basic rights to freedom and justice. It is criminal as well as morally and politically reprehensible," she said in a statement.
"Bennett made no secret of his intentions, which are to strengthen and entrench the illegal settlement regime. This is the very regime that is currently under review by the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court because its establishment, expansion, and entrenchment is a violation of the Rome Statute. As such, Bennett's announcement is an affront to the International Criminal Court as well as the international community, which rejects and opposes the acquisition of territory by force," added Ashrawi.
"Israel's policy of displacement and replacement in the service of the 'Greater Israel' agenda is in overdrive thanks to the partnership and blind ideological support of the current American Administration. This irresponsible alliance is emboldening Israel to make a mockery of the rules-based international order and to attempt to normalize its rogue behavior and encourage other rogue states with extraterritorial aspirations to disregard international law with impunity," said the PLO official.
"Israel's lawless behavior, impunity and expansionism threaten Palestinian rights and international stability. The international community has a standing legal obligation to put an end to such escalating and grave violations of international law. States must have the moral clarity and courage to ensure that Israel's lawless behavior is confronted with real consequences, including sanctions," Ashrawi concluded her statement.
Israeli Army Demolishes School Foundations In A Bid To Impede Palestinian Education
In their bid to impede Palestinian education in remote villages, Israeli occupation forces on Thursday demolished the foundations of a new school that was being built east of Yatta town in the south of the occupied West Bank, according to Rateb Jabour, member of the National and Popular Committee Resisting the Wall and Settlements.
He said that Israeli soldiers came to the school that was being built between Yatta and Bani Naim in an area close the illegal Israeli settlement of Beni Hefer and began to demolish the foundation laid out for the construction of the school.
He said that no prior notice of demolition was given to the school administration.
The school was intended to serve children in the remote villages who often have to travel long distance and through rough and hazardous terrain to reach their schools in nearby towns.
