    I would have said go cross country to Portlaoise as ur on that side of Dublin, south side I'd have said go N11 and enjoy the spin. Will traffic be that bad on the main road?

    Also I reckon I can get across town to the N11 in about the same time as it would take to get going on the M4
    Port tunnel :D

    Yeah - I was thinking that all right, but I'm unsure about the M50 to Nass bit
    It Could be really heavy.
    I'll just keep an eye on AA Roadwatch and make a decision closer to the time.

    *0XEGEN MUSIC FESTIVAL* Very busy now heading for ******. Its taking 45 minute to get from Goffs park N Ride through Naas and the M7 is very heavy. The Dublin Bus shuttles from Parnell Sq West are taking about 1:55mins. In Dublin, Parnell Sq should be avoided due to crowds. M50 southbound is heavy from the M1 to the Naas Rd exit, Naas road outbound heavy from Long mile road to Newlands Cross.

    Looks like I'm headin down the N11 :eek:
