Thanks to everybody who attended this event and commiserations to both Niall and Dave who were unable to join us. I for one greatly enjoyed the few days despite the drop of rain on Saturday night/ Sunday morning. At least it didn’t spoil the daytime enjoyment of what was on offer in both Cobh and Innishannon. I hope all the TRoops arrived home safely and without any hassle and I’m looking forward to many more enjoyable events during the season.

Please forward any pickie wickies to Cecil who handles the coordination and maintenance  of the library I use for The Herald.

All back to our own comfy beds again!

Update Tuesday May 28

The drive time from Dublin to the campsite is approx 3 hours (not 4 as originally thought)

We don’t actually go to Inishannon village - directions are as follow:

The village we head to is Cross Barry which is before Inishannon. At the Halfway Roundabout take the 3rd exit, over the bridge and turn left. Proceed to Cross Barry. After approx 1/2 mile we pass a shop and the entrance to the field will be fully signposted. I got these instructions from Martin (Organisor

Breakfast Friday Poitin Still
