Hay guys and gals, I've planned a route around Killarney and part of Cork with some interesting roads and scenery along the way. Have a look :shock:

Times are a guide only, there is a couple of places i'd like to get some group photos if poissible and if anyone wants to stop along the way it's no problem either :D

Communication between cars would make things much smoother, I suggest everyone has a walkie talkie, if someone is having issues, goes of track or fancies a break it'll be easier to communicate this way as all radios will be on the same channel, they have 3 miles of coverage and free batteries just in case. I can get as many radios as needed at a cost of E10 each. I'd collect them in ennis and hand them out, collecting back in Apple Green at the end of the day. Payments for radios has to be made upon collection from the owner so I can take payment via paypal, money order, cash in person.

I'd recommend printing and bringing along this page if you're going to take part, so if you go off track at least you can see the points on the map and if we are missing a car at a regrouping point I'll make contact.

I think getting the ball rolling this month is a good idea?

That's it, not sure if I have missed anything??.

It would be great to see you all and your cars, have a drive and enjoy the weather.

Well done James..

Won't get to it , I'm afraid, but the southern brigade usually turn up trumps for this type of event.
Good Luck!!

I love the thought put into these posts and runs and makes me very jealous that my Roadster isn't on the road yet.
I'll definitely miss this trip unfortunately.

Hi James. That's a good route. We did some of it two weeks ago (not in the mx5) If you have time, don't miss the 385million year old tetrapod dionasaur tracks on Valentina Island. Weather permitting the road from Port Magee to Ballinaskelligs is a blast. Unfortunately won't be able to make the trip. Have a great outing.

That looks like a very well thought out run, James - thanks for taking the time and effort to arrange it. Most unfortunately I ain't here on the 1st (feckin' typical).

I'm back July 14th - so at the moment 22nd, 29th, and 5th Aug. I appreciate the hassle in trying to find a date that suits enough folk.
