    From Dublin.



    Where would you go? Looking for ideas I'll admit...

    Anything decent on anywhere? Not the EP.

    Carlingford near Dundalk is a nice spot - short-ish drive from Dublin.

    We did that a couple of years back. Woke up one Saturday, had nothing planned and said we'd go for a drive to the Giants Causeway. Beautiful up there along the coast. Took nearly 4 hours from Dublin taking it handy with a couple of pit stops.

    North Antrim coast is the most spectacular in Ireland I reckon and full of really friendly people (don't let the Union Jacks put you off). About 3 and a half hours from Dublin. Probably worth staying the night as its a long enough drive coming home tired. Avoid Larne though.....not so nice there at all at all :p.

    the last time a "union jack" housing estate came up in conversation for me, was when my friend was describing exiting the said estate at speed, whilst stones were being thrown at her southern reg'd car.

    an isolated incident, i know.

    Ah well Larne doesn't have a great reputation for being friendly to us down south :(.
