Excellent news Adrian...sounds like you've put in a lot of work for this....really looking forward to it!!! My brother and I were just checking out the route on the Sat Nav...getting a whole selection of arrival times to Rathdrum!!!! Danger!! lol

I'm going up the N11, then into Arklow, 1st exit, under bridge 1st left, straight through next 2 roundabouts(last one a fried egg one) and along to Woodenbridge Hotel etc! A friend of mine lives in Arklow!

See you there! I can't wait!

Me neither.... we're going to go up Cahir and then Thomastown. think that's the route.

? Is this the quickest from my direction?? does anyone else have any other suggestions???

Hey Sarah,

I can down from the match yesterday through Glendalough and Thomastown... some great back roads. From Shankhill in Dublin to Cork it took me a little over 3 hours... Fun back roads all the way and no traffic...

You are more than welcome to follow me up on Friday, that's if you can keep up lol

Will be stuck at work so will be dashing the moment the last customer is booted out the door!! my brother and I will probably go with that Thomastown route - seems to be the quickest. Doubt you'll be able to keep up with us though!

by **Bawnee** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:04 pm

Is that Thomastown Co Kilkenny?? If so, I wouldn't even go that way and that's only up the road from me!! Sarah I sent ya a PM! Should be easy enough to follow!! :1icon_cool:

Just look out for any villages twinned with German equivalents

by **swampette** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:06 pm

Awh thanks Siobhan....Damian came up with a number of different routes - one of them suggested going that way...have never driven up that direction myself..usually go west!!!!
Cheers

No comment...... I was very tired that morning.... and this is off-topic by the way... :1icon_evil:

Great Bawnee,

The more the better. Why don't we have Thomastown as the meeting point! I'll try get Sarah that far if she finishes up at a reasonable time...
lol

What time are you thinking leaving at Sarah?

by **Bawnee** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:11 pm

To be honest, It will be the one I'm most familiar with so will be going that way! So its the N11, N25, N30, nowhere near the bottleneck of Thomastown! Sorry Baker, Friday and Kilkenny, are ya mad??!!

I won't be leaving till late afternoon or later and can wait!

by **swampette** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:13 pm

Depends...all things going well and I don't accidently leave the safe door open or hand out an extra 1000 euro to a random customer.....looking to be leaving town at about 5.30.... if I seriously muck up during the day...looking at maybe after 6!!! I don't know what time the rest of the Cork contingent are leaving but it will probably be earlier than that. Never got your PM Siobhan!!!

Can anyone bring a spare Hair straightners just incase Sarah runs in problems with her one

And she's not being a diva now.....

by **Bawnee** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:18 pm

Flip.. I'll try again Sarah.. Sorry about that! Will try again! Although I think i said it all on the forum.. you have my number anyway.. yes?
