Ian, I don't mind picking people up from Dublin but people might be a bit concerned travelling with me since I am on my 2nd provisional license. I've no problems with that though.

Nick

malico

Hey Nick!

Ahh dont; worry! I'm on my third provisional!!

If andrew wants to get the train thats cool, otherwise I'll drive the bike down. I'm easy (as i'm told!!)

Is 12 ok for everyone? then we can head to the castly for 2 and get to work!!

MeatProduct

Hi Ian,

Looking at the AA route mapp I posted above it will take Tolloc and myself about 3 hours to get there with no traffic, if there's traffic I reckon that could go to 4 hours. So if Torlac and myself leave at about 8:30am we should do ok for getting there at 12. A 2 hour meeting should do the trick before we head to the castle.

Nick

stormkeeper

I was thinking of taking the train, though I'd end up being in Tullamore. So I take it we're not meeting in Birr?

malico

Looks closer than birr!

How about I meet you on saturmorning andy? Then we'll grab the train down

stormkeeper

Sure

I can take the bus down, er... UP to Heuston. I'd better top up my phone in case I can't find you, lol

I need to work out what I need to bring now, lol

malico

Andy, meet ya at Huestan at 10:15 for the train?

Superman

i'm in dublin and i don't mind goin but it seems like alot a travel and expense, If i can get a mate to go, i'll go.

any chance we can just head to a forest in the dublin mountains and fester evil there?

Gillo

By my reckonign there are a few goign from Dublin. why not rent a car?

malico

Gillo, Only me and Kenneth are gogin from dublin. No-one else mailed me to confirm. The train trup shouldn;t be that expensive all round, About 30 i reckon.

Superman, send me on your contact detaisl will ya? Also, anyone else thta i didn;t know about! Are you gogin Gillo?

Sure, that's grand. I'll need to catch an early bus to meet you there. I'm going out to pick up a package from the post office, so I should have the EMF yoke now

PS: Sorry about the delay in answering, DSL was out since 7pm last night, and it's only back on since a few mins ago.

MeatProduct

Looks like just the 3 of us! I hope we can get through the work they have planned for us there at the castle.

Ian, can you think of anything I would need to bring apart from my laptop?

Nick

stormkeeper

Hmm... Just 3 of us? Hmm... That's fun, sorta. Ah well, all the more ghosts for us... Though I think there's a 4th person coming along?

Gillo

No, afraid I can't make it due to family commitments.

stormkeeper

Ah well. Perhaps next time?

Btw guys, I just got my EMF Measurer, and I detected a ghost with it already.... I think, so it works pretty well so far

KlodaX

that sounds interesting.

where are yous going next time?

stormkeeper

I don't think we're actually sure yet, but it's all down to voting and stuff, I think..

MeatProduct

I'd like to do a stone circle next.

Nick

LegacyUser

Sorry guys, I wanted to go and still really do but...I chickened out. I don't have the bottle for it. I am really going to push myself to go on the next one. Since this is the biggest one(does it get bigger than Charleville castle???), this should have sooooooooo not been the first one!!! Anyway, extremely interested in seeing/hearing about you guys and what happens! If i bring a mate with me next time, it will be easier. Plus i drive.

I am Jealous!!!!

Andy :dunno:

MeatProduct

If I'm late getting to Tullamore it's because I've become terribly lost See you guys there!

Nick

stormkeeper

Wow, less than 12 hours to go... I'm all pumped up, and I'm all ready to go

stormkeeper

I might take the train... Though I'd get there faster... Only one I could get leaves at 854am... Usually is a tad late. Imo, I'm best off withthe train coz I arrive in Heuston, and gives me a chance to find the train to Tullamore... I haven't been to Heuston in yonks, lol

I'd get lost

Anyway, I'll be there about 930am-odd, will prolly get myself a bit of breakfast or something...

Torlac

did i miss anything??????????

stormkeeper

A fair few things happened, but I can't remember much at the moment.

bug

well hope you's had a good one, let us know of any reports you have.
