Charleville Castle Weekend November 3rd & 4th

Sebzy

Same as last time the main room with the big fire and the tables n stuff. Anyone care to give a better description?

GristlyEnd

Very large room with a piano, large fire and loads of floor space. A good camp bed and sleeping bag is highly recommended. It gets very cold at night.

Can't wait for this.

Fajitas!

Freezing tbh.

I'd be bringing 2 jumpers, a decent sleeping bag, and a pillow case to stuff with whatever. Floor mats might be a good idea.

Bring a fair bit of supplies, and a decent torch too.

Sebzy

oh yea and ear plugs

rofl

Leinstermans snoring, is indeed, something to be terrified of.

challengemaster

Space available in my car. I will be going via the M50 so if you can get close to it, I can collect you. I'm staying overnight so if you're not, you will need transport back.

Cheers Darren. Where are you getting on the M50?

GristlyEnd

From the start with the juction of the M1. I'll send you a PM later with more details of where I can collect you.

Fajitas!

Yo, Elvy, any chance of a lift?

I'd be looking for a lift too if there is one going, otherwise I'll have to have my helicopter serviced and I have given the man who services it a holiday that weekend..

sineadw

What is it with injuries?! I have had a frisbee-related incident and am currently whacked out of my gourd on opiates for three broken ribs I'm still hoping to make it, in body at least, but if places are at a premium I don't want to hog a place that could go to someone else. Let me know...

Xios

Leg's feelin better, i think i'll be able to go, and still climb the tower

Right so you got the last place..

Did you fill in the form ? My mail is down and too lazy to fix the server now 17k queued messages and counting

sineadw

I'm starting to look very doubtful for this My ribs are sorer than ever and I doubt a night on a floor would help them. If someone else is looking to go they can have my place..

Fajitas!

Booo Sinead!

Thaks Seb...:) i guess ill wait to register till i know whether sinead is going or not, mele??

Sebzy

Well only a few days to go now so the last of the official stuff.

- Sign in will be at 11AM sharp please arrive before this time not after. We will have have a safety briefing after sign in before anyone's allowed access to the castle so if your late you hold up the whole group.

- Bring food and drink or buy it in the town(Tesco/Aldi/Lidl) Alcahol is allowed but no spirits.

- If you want to camp outside feel free to do so after singing a disclaimer provided by the castle.

- Donation to the castle restoration fund had been agreed at EUR20 each and EUR10 for day trippers. This will be collected at SignIn. (5 euro cheaper than last year).

- It may be cold on sat night so we will be responsible for keeping the large fire going this means everyone will be chipping in for a bag or two of coal. I will do a run to the store later on that day. May help too to collect some wood from the forest.

- If anyone needs directions speak now.

- Do not go exploring the castle alone it's a big place and sometimes quite dangerous always work in pairs or groups.

Please read the original posting again and make note of all.

Will we be out for din din Saturday night, or are we at the castle until Sunday? Do any of the local chippey's do delivery??

GristlyEnd

Sorry nothing like that planned

Best solution is the age old art of cooking.

We have a huge gas oven and hob. If you want you can visit the town which is about 10-15 minutes drive and the a McD and KFC amongst others.

Cooking was the preferred last time as everyone wanted to spend as much time as possible in the castle and grounds taking pics.

Al big fry-up in the morning again?????????

Fajitas!

Big fry up in the morning again indeed.

I'm looking forward to this weekend.
