Posted: Mon, 02 Mar 2009 1:01 +0000I've been working with Val on combining a 2-day Waterford-Wexford Run.
EDIT: Details now posted below.
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.
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...
