i'm going up to the run (from dublin). myself and the girl friend are thinking of making a weekend of it? can anyone recommend a place to say with in reasonable distance of the starting point (40 or 50 miles?) and if there is anything you'd recommend doing or going to see in the area?

cheers barry
