Right, a new thread and a stupid name for the day so it can only get better from here biggrin


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 and thanks to The Carvery Restaurant in Tipp Town there is a few bob off the normal price of Sunday lunch as long as you print off the voucher page posted in the next post below and hand it in when paying (one per person)

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 Athlone will have you there in approximately 2 hours.


The only real request for those coming is to not act the bollix.

Obey the speed limits (especially important in the towns / villages).

Anybody driving dangerously, diffing, etc or doing anything likely to cause injury or harm to others will be told to fu(k off.


To help ensure nobody gets lost the simple rule is don't try to keep up with the person in front of you but wait for the person behind you.


Now folks feel free to start a list of who's coming for a spin biggrin

Well according to the religious types Jesus went for 40 days without food so surely it'll go for one day without tax.

biggrin

Or as you said you could just steal a car for the day.

You'll be fu(ked either way if you're stopped so choose your crime .....

Are they not turning a blind eye to this at the moment?

I suppose it also depends how out of date it is? wink

Not a hotel ... we're all poor people around here. biggrin

It's a place called The Carvery restaurant and it's in the same shopping centre as Dunnes Stores are at the Limerick end of Tipp Town.

If you type this into you sat nav you'll be in the car park ...

Lowest and highest car at the Vee. You could nearly park the MX5 under the LT.





Suicidal sheep at the Vee.
