We met for the last wicklow run in avoca in kilmacanoge and it was empty.
Anyone nearby that can have a look at avoca in city west next sunday?


Oh Sorry Ger, I thought you were talking about the one in "City West". I am local to that one and as Steve says its really busy at the weekends. It's a great place!

They are known as Foxrock Fannies down our way.

Well suggestions anyone?

Has to be relatively central
Car park for a tyre kick
Somewhere to get a coffee or tea or pint whatever.

Lets just decide on somewhere and try it out.

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? :|

Coffee Shop at visitors centre in Phoenix Park? Busy spot sometimes but big car park and nice coffee shop.

Castleknock Hotel? another big car park and coffee / pub facilities

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). :roll:

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.

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.
