Well done there Ollie. Can I suggest that if anyone wants to bring family etc this place is ideal..Kids will spend hours walking around, bicycles are also allowed (Frank..you're sorted). Boyle is only 2 miles from the entrance, we could easily have a drink there at night and either walk or taxi back to campsite.(Or get a lift on Frank's crossbar :oops: )

Electrical outlets are also located near the tent area, you will need the 16A connector though.(The blue circular one)

Lots of B&B in Boyle for those who are reluctant to go Au Natural (as in camping :roll: )

As far as I remember there is some good driving potential nearby, it's not too far from Eniskillen either so maybe some of our Nordy friends would like to join us?

Now where did I put my sleeping bag and boy scout whistle??

[color=#0000FF]Yes! for sure................on the Saturday, we'll head off at around 10am for a spin, then do lunch somewhere and then do antoher run in the afternoon and then do dinner that night, Probably in Boyle itself.

Then, On the sunday morn, we'll head on another and do lunch somewhere from where people can head back home in thewir general direction!

That would be the plan, you up for it mx5moore?

Ok I'm renting a caravan for this trip, tried to put the f##king :twisted: tent today, in perfect conditions I could not get the f##king right poles in to the correct f##king loops, then I broke two of the sh##ing poles trying to feed them into the receivers, the whole f##king :( thing was a disaster and if I got hold of the b###ard :evil: who wrote the instructions I'd stick them up his a##e :roll: the stupid p##ck! :mrgreen:
