Driving from Rathfarnham if anyone needs a lift.

Sebzy

Route planned from Dublin city to the castle. Can everyone try to be up by 11 as we have to sign forms and give people a briefing.

Looks to be valid

Ekk, forecast from weather section.

SATURDAY ... Showers or prolonged periods of showery rain, embedded thunderstorms, mainly non-severe although gusty winds and small hail possible, westerly veering northwesterly winds at 25-45 mph (some higher gusts possible mid-day and afternoon west coast). Chilly by recent standards with morning lows 7-9 C and afternoon temperatures 11-14 C.

SUNDAY ... Any lingering showers overnight should dissipate by midnight except possibly in east Ulster, then partial clearance to rather chilly lows around 5 to 8 C, sunny intervals during the day, highs 17-20 C.

Just have to get extra drunk so I wont hear the rain

Well whatever the weather it's going to be a great weekend.
We can explore more inside and use the big kitchen for food. Drinks in the morning room with big open fires.

Weather whatever

Would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended and made this a truly fantastic event. We raised over €500 which was graciously received by the castle and will go directly towards upkeep and restoration.
