West Coast of Ireland
SA Chris:
Just come to the East Coast of Scotland, you know it makes sense.

First I have heard of this.

At work atm without much time so will reply properly later, but quickly the m-word has been mentioned: how bad are they? Wales / Lakes level? Or full on Torridon midge tornados?

Going from some of the videos I have seen of Scottish midge they aren't nearly as bad. I think you just need to be sensible about this. But if you bouldering on a still evening near water or vegetation during the summer there are going to be midge.

My understanding is that the opposite is the case, but it has been hard to convince farmers.

Love that you ask a speculative question on here and get a reply from someone who literally wrote the book on it! Thanks for the kind offer Dave, if I have any direct questions I will ask. If we decide to come I will obvs buy your book!
Remus, folk festival sounds great! Would be the sort of thing I'd be into if timings worked out.
Fultonius, RE van spots were you using Park4Night? Looks to be loads on there but obvs they aren't always what they seem.
JB / Bradders / (and Dave I guess) - I didn't know this about access. So is it the case that if I see a hill and fancy walking up it it may not be possible? Also is there any Irish mapping equivalent of the OS?
SA Chris - E Scotland is always a distinct possibility tbh!
