WATERFORD - WEXFORD Run

Postby MX5Steve » Mon, 02 Mar 2009 1:01 +0000

I've been working with Val on combining a 2-day Waterford-Wexford Run.
EDIT: Details now posted below. :D
Garmin Waypoints attached to this Post!
Download and open in Map Source and then Send to your Garmin device.
The waypoints are in Favorites and are Located in Category 1.

Here's the Details of the Waterford Wexford Run Planned for 9th-10th of May.

Image

We’re looking at a 2 day run, staying overnight in the Curracloe Hotel.

Day one, which is outlined in detail below is beginning in Waterford and Ending at Curracloe Beach on the East Coast.

Day Two, has yet to be finalised but will be a short run to Enniscorthy and should give people easy access to return home.

The Curracloe hotel is priced @ €35 per person sharing.(Double or Twin can be arranged) Or €45 per person single.
Hotel seems lovely I called in their myself on Wednesday. So far nothing booked for the 9th and 10th, but it’s a small hotel so depending on how many come rooms may be limited.
You’ll be pleased to hear that the Bar is conveniently located next door and serves food till 9pm.
DONT BOOK YET, Please wait till we have at least 5 definites...

Phone: 053 9137308

I have a list of all the waypoints for Day one available for download to Garmin via Mapsource, for those interested.
May I suggest that we break the group into small groups of five or similar with those carrying Sat Navs leading.

Also if those that are going could PM me their mobile number so that we can contact it if anyone goes a wandering.
