Hi all,
after much tooing and froing we seem to have let the rally ireland idea go back to sleep. The general opinion in the other threads seemed to be that the end of August would suit most who replied. Could everyone who would be interested in meeting up between 25th and 28th August stick a few details down here. If you can't make it that weekend put your details down and possible alternative weekends. Also put down where you are coming from, what sort of age group, are you bringing kids, limits to how far you can travel and any suggestions as to what we might do. Once we have a few responses we can try an find somewhere that suits from both a geographical and entertainment point of view. If you could each drop me a mail on bb695@hotmail.com I can keep everyone up to date until we have a plan. Then I nominate Arizona to do all the hard work.
I'll go first
BB695 + Mrs - 30 something (Brian & Catherine)
2 kids aged 5 and 7
coming from Belfast
can travel anywhere
suggestion -
All Ireland fleadh - Letterkenny, might be a bit out of the way for basically everyone though
Delighted you've taken up the challange!! That weekend is fine for us. Our details are...
Myself & Himself....39 and holding!!
4 Juniors - 4,5,9 & 10
Letterkenny is where we are based!!! so not much traveling involved for us there. However we left for the weekend the fleadh was on! It was pretty chaotic. From what I hear there were quite a lot of motorhomes and a major lack of suitable parking areas. It is also a good distance from the ports, Belfast being the closest one.
Maybe somewhere either along the east coast or midlands making access easier for those willing to hop on a ferry and cross the water. They would then have a choice of the three major ports.
Cork/Kerry much as I would love to go would just be too far for a weekend as I'm sure Donegal would be for those that far south.
Am naturally willing to help U with this great idea.
Will to do some research on ferry crossing to Dublin and Rosslare.
I was looking at sites near letterkenny - There only seem to be a couple of small ones, so we might struggle to get somewhere for that weekend.
Other possibilities that I have stayed at recently
Lough Key - big parkland space, not too far from the N4, so reasonably accessible from Dublin.
Battlebridge - near Carrick on Shannon - has a pub on site - other than that it is fairly quiet
Camac Valley -10 mins from Dublin. Perfect site for a meet, but other than go shopping in Dublin, there doesn't seem to be much within walking distance - good park for kids though
Delamont in Co Down - Nice site, set in a country park, walks, park, shopping are all handy - no pub
Castle Archdale - Near Enniskillen. Big site, good hard stands, pub on site, park on site, shop on site, entertainment on site, marina on site (so I could have my arm twisted to bring the boat) - not sure about travel times from Dublin or the deep South
Tollymore - right in the middle of a forest - own beer and entertainment essential, but the setting is brilliant. Taxi to Newcastle - £3.00. Loads to to both day and night. 1 hour from Belfast - 2 hours from Dublin
Red River Valley - Co Wicklow - Big site, pub, restaruant, park on site - small shops nearby
Roundwood - Co Wicklow - Smaller than Red river valley - town of Roundwood is about 10 minute walk (15 minute stagger back) Plenty of evening entertainment
Greenlands - Rosses point near Sligo - possibly the most amazing sunsets you will ever see - superb food in Austies, decent pint in the hotel and brilliant beach - 4 hours from Belfast - probably similar from Dublin
If anyone has any other suggestions or any preferences for any of these post them up. Once we get a rough idea of where everyone is coming from we can choose a site and try to get it booked.
p.s. - I've never done this before - if anyone feels the need to offer tips and hints, feel free
I'm all for this idea!
Only new to motorhomes, in fact, I haven't got one yet, but I'd love to go along and get first-hand advice.
I'm also from Letterkenny, so I'd be willing to help get info. if you decide to come here.
I work in Leixlip, (west Dublin), so I can help scout some sites if needed.
