kenwood

Hi Folks

Will be overnighting in Dublin on Monday night next May 17th in the D4 area. Are there any souls that would like to do a photowalk with dusk and/or sunset a priority (weather permitting!!)?



Denis

Stevokenevo

Hey Denis - Haven't managed to actually get on one of these photowalks yet but next Monday sounds good. Would be great to get out and about as long as folks don't mind a beginner tagging along!

I'm in Dublin 4 area too, not too far from Grand Canal Dock.

pixbyjohn

I am nursing a sore foot but if all is well I will join you both.

kenwood

Stevokenevo: Your more than welcome, we're all learning......

John: Are you climbing those masts again? !! - See how you are and keep in touch





Denis

Hope you get well soon, John!

Btw. I won't be on this one as long as the ash cloud allows Dublin and Berlin Airport to stay open on Monday, which I actually hope;)

So see you all on the next walk, enjoy Monday.

SinisterDexter

Where is the D4 hotel? I think there are many in Dublin.

kenwood

SinisterDexter: It's the old Jury's Hotel in Ballsbridge. At the corner of Pembroke Road, Norththumberland Road and Landsdowne Road.

Pixbyjohn: Sorry to hear about the foot, hope it your on the mend soon. "73"


Denis

SinisterDexter

Ballsbridge - is that near Grand Canal Dock? I think StevoKenevo is lost, and I was lost with him. Will have to ponder it, see how I get there.

kenwood

Yep not a thousand miles from Grand Canal Dock !!

Top of Upper Grand Canel, turn right onto Haddington Road, and left onto Norththumberland Road.
