St. Stephen's Day Picnic Run

Postby timmydamini » Fri Nov 25, 2011 4:43 pm

Hi All,

I'm organising a St. Stphen's Day (get rid of the rest of the turkey, ham and stuffing) picnic run.

I've haven't decided on a route or stop off point, weather will be a factor for the latter.

Was thinking of Courtmacsherry direction via Kinsale.

A big empty hay barn would be ideal as a fall back if the weather was adverse.

Any ideas?

Hi Folks,

We're gathering at the car park of the Viaduct Bar from 10.30am, departing at 11.00am.

Destination is Courtmacsherry.

Bring flask and sangers, hopefully weather will be OK, looks good so far.

Regards,
Tim

Not a bad surface on that route to Courtmac, gives me an idea for an early morning blast finishing with breakfast in the village.
Nice to catch up with a few people today, weather was cool but at least it was reasonably dry.
See you at the next one.

Very very happy with the new look :)
Wheels have made a big difference to the handling as they are very light compared to the previous alloys and look great I think ;)
Love the JCW aero side sills too :)

Declan is a full member and is 'a lost cause'...... LOL :)
He went to his first Mini run a while back and within days had bought another 6 or 7 Mini's!! :)
