Charleville Castle Weekend November 3rd & 4th

Benster

Directions please! I'll get to Tullamore ok, but would appreciate help from there. (Mind you, I have Bovril as co-pilot so might be ok)

Also, is there a fridge? Thought I might bring sossidges...

bovril

The lonely planet has directions and I think it says take Limerick road out of Tullamore past a few BIFFOs and it's not far. Can't remember if it says right or left. Will check tonight.

By all accounts the room is actually like a fridge it's so cold!

Fajitas!

There's a fridge there alright!

Erm, it can be a bit odd to find...you'll survive though.

Just follow the N52 through Tullamore and the castle entrance is on the right. Its surrounded by a forest. Be careful as the road is not the best there.

Was there over the weekend and the road's just fine well if my car survived it anyone's can.

Just watch out for the giant pot hole just past the gate.

Bring whatever food yees want and bring extra and share

Benster

As regards food (must get priorities right, ye know) what did you guys do the last time for dinner? Did you all cook something different, or did everyone share one big meal?

I must be gettin a hankerin for leaner times, I keep thinking of spag bol...

(Oh, and mustn't forget the camera.)

elven

Pretty sure last time it was mostly sausages. Burnt ones...

Munchies are a good idea I'd say. nachos & dips, that sort of thing. Must remember to bring marshmallows for the fire

Does fajitas' plus one have a name? Very mysterious!

Sinead, boooooo. Now I have to go to the scary toilet on my own, too

From which direction do you mean when you say through Tullamore? I'm coming from the south and will be hitting the N52, but I'm not sure on which side of Tullamore I'll be hitting it.

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

Woo! Be happy to sign anything.

yes yes they do indeed but thats cheating.

Fajitas!

a) I did not burn any sausages. I have never burnt sausages.

b) Yes, there's a plus one, it's not a ravishing young model though. I'm sorry.

c) If I remember correctly, MostlyCircles is a lovely looking young lass, that is going to have to put up with guys sho... erm... that can go to the ladies with Elven.

Fionn

ok my memories of the last trip there was:
that cat!! very photogenic
the walk climb up that stairwell thing (not great with heights) it went on and on!!
Noah! good guy
Danny good fryup fella
the scare at the door!! you know who you are!!
the rain and cold!! brrr
Mantel for doing a lot of arranging it
and Seb for putting it all together good job
fair play lads
and the singing/snoring

oh my god!!

:eek:

i'm bringing three safari beds, had them the last time they were pretty ok - so anyone suffering any debilitating excuse can avail of same!!!

no excuses right?

challengemaster

none for me, anyway

looking forward to this.. could use a good time

DeVore

Seb, I'm terrible sorry but I have to bail on this weekend. I have the charity game in the EPT to play and since my company is involved and I committed to it 6 months ago, I really should go. I'm gutted but (yet again!) I have to miss a Photo forum outing

Not to mention, the camera will be in action for the day too


DeV.
ps: if I've incurred any cost for you, let me know and I'll cover it.

Fajitas!

Boooo Dev!

Is it just on in the morning, or an all day event?

Boo indeed... sometimes I question your commitment to Sparkle Mo, I mean, our happy form...

sineadw

Sorry I wasn't on yesterday.. Count me out for now and if by some miracle I can make it then I'll call someone and see if its still possible. But take my place. That ok?

And yes Julie I'm sure you'll find someone willing to escort you to the toilet. Big scary monsters and all that..

I'm soooooooooo pissed off. I really REALLY wanted to go

I missed your name in the list! Woo! Yay!

Xios

Hmm, em, i might need to pester someone for a lift, as a road trip on my bike seems a little ambitious since i've only been on it a month, (and already fell off)
Anyone passing through lucan on the way?

Fionn

i was considering going up on my bike but i have too much stuff to bring!!
oh and if anyone is coming from the south east i can provide a lift

Roen

I'll be passing through....Waterford-->Mullinavat-->Stoneyford-->Kilkenny-->Durrow-->Abbeyleix-->Portlaoise-->Mountmellick-->Tullamore-->Castle.

If anyone will be on that road on Sat morning early doors let me know and they can have a lift.

Roen

Actually Seb, looking at the OS map, it looks like there's two roads into the castle, which one do we take? The one nearest Tullamore?

Sebzy

Roen

Sebzy

Well it's a magic laptop because people say "Where the hell did you get that" and I reply "nobody knows it just appeared on my hard drive like magic"...

And as we all know boards is not magic friendly so best left unsaid what type of magic it is right ;)
