The most exciting trip was when we ended up going over Conor Pass rather
than taking the road I had planned to take. I later learned more about
Conor Pass at

ISTM that this road is only going to be dangerous if you act the complete
idiot


No. I drove over the Conor Pass in June 2006 (starting from Dingle). It was
truly scary. It was all fog. On the south side the pavement was new, so
there are no road markings. Fortunately the rain gutter was white concrete
and I followed that. Then coming down the other side it was single track,
and a very tight squeeze for the cars to get by. We crept by each other, in
the selected places that were a little wider.
