Oregato's suggestion sounds good

Best place for a meeting point *maybe* the Spawell down off the N81 in Tallaght and making our way up to view point (good for some pictures) then heading out from there up to the Wicklow Gap?

Hi guys, 1 or 2 would suit me better but if it's 12 then so be it, I'll have to play catch up also.

Would be great if you could say 1 or 2 at the Spawell say? I should be able to get back up in time, but if it has to be 12 then I'll catch up.

Hopefully it'll be good weather for it.

Ok 13:00 it is then, so thats the time (33%) and the place (33%)
So if someone has a route(33%) then sure we're 99% of the way there 8)

Sample Route I take from time to time.

From spawell, head towards firhouse up toward the dublin mountains, head up to view point, take a few minutes to enjoy the view and take a few photos, head on straight from view point up towards the wicklow mountains.

Keep going up around the roads there, will end up at a cross roads, straight for wicklow gap, right for ? and left for roundwood, head left at this crossroads and head down towards roundwood, stop in roundwood, food/photos etc.. keep heading down and end up on the n81 near Valleymount/Blessington, from there, go down towards tallaght back to the start at the spawell..

That's a nice route I take from time to time, circa 45 minutes on a gentle pace, 1.15 hrs when stopping at the different areas etc..

Just a suggestion. Happy to go on a different route! :)

Morning meets are good, but after a Saturday night, you want people to have a bit of a chance to recover :D

Best place for a meeting point *maybe* the Spawell down off the N81 in Tallaght and making our way up to view point (good for some pictures) then heading out from there up to the Wicklow Gap?

Another option would be to meet at the Bray seafront, say at the car park down near the Star Century amusements and making our way from there up the N11 towards Roundwood?

I'll leave it up to you guys. If the general consensus is that 2pm is too late in the day, I'll make every effort to come back early...

Johnv, if you're heading from wexford, I could meet up with you on the way and convoy up from Wexford.. any other MX5' down that way that would be up for coming for a drive?

ill be leaving from cahore about 11.30 ring me on 0868044885 if this suits

Now Sean, you know what happened me the last time we were near Aughavannagh :( :( :(

So, 1pm at the Spawell..that should be manageable. If not I'll catch up, I have your number Seán...is Aimee going too??
