I've been doing parts of the Irish Photo Rally for the last 2-3 years (although I've never actually entered it!).

I always struggle viewing the official map on my mobile (iphone, ipad, android, etc) so I've stuck together this mobile friendly version of the map. The official page is here.

What is the Irish Motorcycle Photo Rally?

It's an annual fun event where there a bunch of locations around the country. The idea is to hit each one and grab a snap/video/whatever. At the year end you can submit an entry and the organisers decide winners for all sorts of categories.

How long do I have to complete the Photo Rally?

As long as you want really. The organisers launch the route in Feb and it runs until November. You can do it in a week, month or more.

I've known a few people who've tried to do it in 24 hours, others have done it on Honda 90s, you'll meet all sorts doing this event.

To get a sense of what's it's about check out an old blog post of ours - the Achill Fiasco!
