If it's just a tyre kick, and not an actual drive, maybe we're back at Strawberry Hall. The road's ramped all right, but it's still very pretty, close to town, that's a fine car park, usually empty at this time of year - and the pub will provide coffee. Just a thought?

mmmm like the Castleknock Hotel... but I really like the idea of stretching my wings in the Phoenix Park... (not that I'm a show-off or anything).

Avoca , Rathcoole is a good spot all-right but it would mean a VERY early start time as it is a very busy spot. However, the coffee and scones are just the best and worth having a go at naming a date and time as a test.

[quote="TeenaG Har har har... In fairness Ger, I led him on...  [/quote] In fairness I only went there to collect a Damsel in distress. We could have lost Teena forever. I should be thanked if anything. Not put up for ridicule. Feel free to put me up for ridicule next time though.
