    Hey,

    Anyone know what was going on in Bray last night? Up around Boghall Road/ Ballywaltrim area? I'm over by Ardmore Studios/Green Tree shop area and was woken at 2.50 and kept awake for 40 mins with the, presumably, Garda helicopter flying up and down the Boghall Road.

    Just wondering if anyone else was woken by it/ know what was going on etc?

    Me too! Didn't bother to get out of bed to take a look, but I've heard the ol' Garda helicopter before and recognised it's unmistakable noise :)

    Couldn't find anything on any of the online news websites that would fit ..

    Yeah I couldn't find anything out either... looking good for next weeks sh1te copy of the Bray people, eh??:p

    I was cursing it! Had been massaging all day long at the mini marathon on monday, got home after 9 due to dart delays then had to work yesterday, was shattered and the silly thing woke me! It was odd, flying up an down either the southern cross or the Boghall road

    each garda district gets the copperchopper for certain time frames in the year, they only get it for like a week in a year so they make the most of it.

    Yeah I figured it was around Boghall road but seemed a little closer so Kilbride makes sense. I live on Herbert Road and there was a fair amount of cars passing by for that hour of the morning! Was also fairly bright outside, I was the same couldn't sleep so well afterwards so I ended up watching the US Election speeches!

    Better not go on tonight :mad:
