A few of us are going to drive the route in the next week or two and come back with a route plan, food stops etc.

So watch this space smile

No updates.

We're finding it hard to get a day where a few of us can get together and see if we can plan a decent route, etc.

Life is getting in the way.

If any of you want to jump in and arrange something we promise we won't be offended.

biggrin

Otherwise you'll all just have to wait ...

Just realised that's Mothers Day this year.

Might need to be the 24th to get a decent turn out and to avoid a divorce.

Will be the 24th.

More details to follow in the next week or so.


Some are loosely planning an overnight in Tipp the night before in case anyone is interested (exact location not confirmed yet).


To be continued .....

A bit of an update .....


Firstly here's a link to the full route for the day

http://goo.gl/maps/LPJp3



Point A is the start point and as this is just off the M8 it's easy to find and will be easily accessible for anyone coming from "up the country".

Point B is where we'll have lunch (exact details to be confirmed about price in the next day or so). We can also meet up with people coming from Limerick, etc here.

Point C is where the latecomers from Limerick can meet us.

Point D is an option to refuel.

Point E is where we'll meet the Cork gang

Point F is where we can meet the Waterford gang.

Point G is where we freeze our nuts off.


The plan is to meet up from 10.00 and get moving at 10.45.

An hour will easily have us at the lunch stop and allow for a bit of chatting and we can get grub from 12.00

If we get mobile again for 1.00 we'll be refuelled and regrouped at Kilworth and ready to move off again at 2.00.

That'll have us comfortably at The Vee for 3.00

Even if we hang about chatting, etc for an hour the people heading home to Dublin should be there by 6.00.

Those times are approximate and we can easily adjust them if we need to.



Oh and I've driven it all in a low car with a hard suspension and had no real issues anywhere except for having to go slow on the final climb from Lismore to The Vee.


The direct route for those coming from the C & C in Athlone will have you there in approximately 2 hours.
