Great trip report, thanks for sharing. Hotel looks lovely – have added it to my list of places to visit from the UK.
Fantastic, and here’s to many more trips to come for you!
Lovely report, in the typically Irish summer 
glad you got your F-reg Mooney back in the air !

I really enjoyed the IFR experience and particularly being the reason for an ‘IFR traffic departing, remain OCAS’ call that someone else received!
he should have gone “we have RyanAir on TCAS”

Do you have a French mécano locally? A long time ago I wanted to keep an F-reg in the UK but this was a problem
No problem these days with EASA and Part-ML. The only interaction I have with the French authority is to send them notification of ARC renewal each year.
Congrats ! Hope your passenger enjoyed all what you came through to get there.
The only negative bit is « IFR departing, stay OCAS ». Given the size of CAS they want, it is a lot for just a SEP climbing

Even on a bad day it looks pretty good.
It does thanks zuutroy, good writeup and Kerry looks like it’s worth a visit

Must be great to be back in the air “properly” after all the troubles!
The first IFR trip is a milstone, and it’s great if it can be a good trip in other ways too.
Great write up too. Congrats.
Lonely trip and great writeup.
As you say, the big problem with Kerry is that it’s a long way from anywhere. So it really needs to be an overnight visit to make it worth it. But it is a great overnight destination.
Great report! Congratulations!
