Dammit, Dammit, dammit,

I CAN'T GO

My stag do has just been arranged for that weekend & I 'm pretty sure I HAVE to go to that, I will be on the next run soonest after that, but it's a bloody shame as I was really looking forward to it, I just bought a new text last week.

[leamyj]

Stag weekend eh??

You should have mentioned that earlier and we might have been able to incorporate the run with your do, alas you'll be otherwise engaged(geddit??)

However, what must be must be..enjoy your stag weekend and POST THE PICS!!!!!

Funny enough it's almost the same plan, we're heading to Donegal camping surfing etc for a few days, pics will follow (if I can work a camera)

[Stig]

Ok, I've booked us all in under the booking name "Mx5Ireland"

€10 a night for up to a 2 man tent
€20 a nite for a 4 man tent and over
We can park the cars beside our tents for security.
Gas/instant barbies are aok too.

Route suggested by Barney :

could do agood run north of camp up past lough allen to dowra and then west through dromahair and round lough gill, rally ireland stage,and back through ballyfarnon and leitrim village to camp site. would be possible to visit glencar waterfall on route.

"be possible to visit glencar waterfall on route"

ahhhh my homeplace...... did you know the world rally uses these roads yearly? whenever I go home I take a trip on them... THEY ROCK!

might have to come along & steer yez all in the correct direction

[leamyj]

Yeah Gus, do come along..it's gonna be a great 2 days regardless of the weather.
How about someone enquiring about a venue for dinner on Saturday night in Boyle, I dunno, maybe chinese or something? I've got some younger ones coming so gotta keep them in mind regarding licensing laws etc., Suggestions anyone?? It could be a large booking so we should command a nice discount
Ollie, you given this one any thought or do you have any other plans??

Fantastic numbers for this..............I thought it'd be just a few cars/tents
Re; that rally route, I don't have a clue of it, can someone do it up on the net please and post it?
Re; a dinner booking - I'm easy John, if you'd like to book something, please do it and put me down for a BIG STEAK
Hope we get some good weather!

[CashelMX5]

Had a look at menupages.ie afora restaurant nd nothing listed iin Boyle, I also had a look at other sites and it looks like Boyle is scarce on restaurants. So Stig I guess John L will be cooking the steaks.

Get Lost!!

I'll be down there reasonably early (hopefully) on the Friday so I'll have a quick scout around and see what's available, if push comes to shove we'll take over the local chipper for the evening!!

Batter Burger anyone?????

So Stig I guess John L will be cooking the steaks.
