It sounds very early to me but I won't know I'll leave until later tonight. Red Cow hotel parking is a good spot, just on top of Naas road before M50.

Thanks. I have had little or no reception on 3 since leaving Dublin.
I can take the new.motorway from Ennistymon to The Limerick/Killary exit.

Thanks!

Unless there is a good fun drive part of the way. I figure take the freeway until Limerick minimises my risk of getting lost!


Three of us will be passing the Ennis exit at about 8:30 if you want to meet up.
I'll pm you my number.

A couple of reports from today say Adare had long tailbacks today with cars arriving... looks like it'll be huge.

I'll be in Limerick about 8.45 or so, for any of yez who might need directions to the Woodlands Hotel Adare.

I won't have shelter until about noon so fingers crossed the weather ain't too bad.

Looking forward to seeing ye all tomorrow!!!

:D Little Red lives on.... bust water pipe at the back of the engine near the head. Thanks for all the advice. They won't operate until Tuesday, but anticipate a speedy transplant with maximum life expectancy.

Enjoy Killaloe you guys.. xxx

Well, a great day out. Left home at 6:30 this morning, breakfast in Adare at 9, we were in our paddock by 10, plenty of machinery of all sorts and sizes, all trying to go their fastest. Did we have 20 cars at one stage?? Great to see friends..old and new. Only issue was the traffic on leaving the manor, but you can expect that sort of thing. The stewards were doing well but the usual impatience of several drivers kinda frustrated the whole operation.Stopped for dinner in Roscrea on the way home and still managed to be at my tv for top gear..an appropriate way to end the day!! Back to work in the morning...Boo!!
