He did it!
We are extremely proud to say David has completed his Wild Atlantic Way Cycle Challenge. After 20 days in the saddle he arrived in Muff, Co. Donegal to be welcomed by Holly and a very well deserved bottle of Champagne. David’s epic cycle started at Kinsale, Co. Cork and followed the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way for 2195 km along steep coastal roads, twisting mountain climbs and welcoming towns and villages not forgetting extreme gales and storms. Click on the links below to see photos and videos documenting his journey.

David now has 3 days to go to complete this epic challenge. Monies raised currently stand at an incredible £6780.00 for Breast Cancer Now, 40-tude and Macmillan Cancer Support.
David has battled along the Wild Atlantic Way with its dramatic scenery and eye watering headwinds competing with the best of the Irish weather including Storm Ali. David’s biggest challenge however is that he is doing this as a solo cyclist. Unfortunately the event was cancelled a few weeks before the starting date but David decided to continue the challenge under his own steam, the ultimate in mental and physical endurance.
Please continue to support David and follow his journey on Facebook.

On September 8 – 26th 2018, Dream Escape’s owner, David Tobin is donning his lycra and embarking on Ireland’s greatest cycling experience, the ‘Wild Atlantic Way Cycle Sportif.’
Dream Escape is expert at designing luxury tailormade trips incorporating this stunning coastal route but this time David will be experiencing the same magnificent route from the saddle.
This 20 day, 2152KM cycle takes in the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way from Kinsale to the Inishowen Peninsula passing through Ireland’s most dramatic coastal scenery. The epic ride incorporates sweeping descents and not so enjoyable climbs, engaging local communities, international athletes and enthusiastic amateurs.
Money raised from David’s venture will be donated to various cancer charities including 40tude 40tude.org.uk – a charity whose focus is to help raise both awareness and vital funds to help cure colon cancer.
Both David and all of us at Dream Escape would be appreciative of any donations you can make.

As we continue in lock downs I have been compiling my memories of some beautiful parts of Ireland, Scotland and England. The first chapter is Donegal in Ireland. A stunning remote part of the country and one that I always love returning to. Stay safe and happy reading!
Donegal will continue to be a fabulous remote, untouched part of Ireland. We are looking forward to getting back to the wonderful beaches and coastline.
It’s the 250th Anniversary of William Wordsworth. The sun shone and the ‘I wondered lonely as a cloud’ or better known as the ‘Daffodils’ poem was on our thoughts. Prince Charles who is the Patron of the Wordsworth Trust created a magical recital in his memory.
Dream Escape’s Head of Guiding Rosie has just returned from an fun, action packed 8 day Educational trip with Melissa McKinley #trvlwithmelissa and Katie Schmit #travelbykatie #Largaytravel. They were joined for 2 days by Head of Sales, Emer.
They covered a huge area of Scotland visiting 14 fabulous properties. En route they saw 8 castles, 12 lochs and at least 5 impressive 18th century bridges. Distillery visit, Neolithic Chambered Cairns, battlefield tour, chocolatier visit, hiking in Highlands, royalty, boats, fishing villages, palaces and lots of Highland Cattle. Set-jetting galore chasing Harry Potter and Outlander. Hundreds of photos taken, shopping galore, delicious food, lots of laughter and great memories. #dreamescapeltd
Dream Escape’s effervescent Head of Sales, Emer Mortell, has just returned from a very successful 2020 Virtuoso Travel Week New York #virtuoso which was held at The Pierre, A Taj Hotel, New York. Emer said there were many highlights and she particularly enjoyed the intimacy of the event with other key travel advisors.
Hello from all of us to Sara Johnson of Largay Travel. #largaytravel . Displayed on Emer’s table are Dream Escape’s 2020 UK and Ireland and 2020 London Calendars of Events. On the I pad Emer is showcasing the Quiraing, Isle of Skye off the west coast of Scotland. Think beautiful scenery and plentiful wildlife and marine life as well as castles, gardens, Clan history, hiking, boat rides and an abundance of fresh seafood. It’s no wonder location scouts frequently choose Skye as a movie location.
