Noel I'll be there too with my father unless the weather is too good and we are at hay or silage - looks like an early start for us get the bus at 6 so be up before 5 and prob not home till at least 12 Only think is now the weather might just be too good for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure Noel as this is my first time going there - I guess as early as possible due to the sheer volume of stuff that will be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Get there early! I'm aiming to be there for 9am. The crowds will be massive (although the late start to the harvest might dampen things a bit), and there are only two roads onto the peninsula. The site is somewhere on the road between Rockmarshall and Carlingford on this map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Early start for you too then Stan - even earlier than me I guess as I'm pretty sure we will be stopping on the way for breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'll be heading up to the smoke on Saturday night, and up to El Paso on Sunday morning. The traffic into Dublin will be brutal with people heading up for the Waterford & West Waterford replay, and the North Waterford vs East Waterford bloodbath.

Good idea - at least once we get to Dubland its motorway the whole way after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
