    I'm having my stag in Bundoran early April and want to plan a thing or 2 for the lads. Can anyone suggest a few things to do apart from the high stool? :P

    Is it too obvious to say go surfing?

    Obvious but not too obvious. :D

    I don't think we'd be up for it to be honest - a bit cold! Thinking of taking the Waterbus boat trip from Donegal town... I'm sure it would be a nice way to spend an hour or 2?

    Are ya's into golf? Plenty of great courses in the area. The waterbus would be grand yeah but not exactly a stag party type of thing!

    Yes some of the lads will try and get a round in (golf that is)!

    There's a bar on the boat so it might not be as pedestrian as you'd think!

    Are there any steam railway trips in the area?

    No trains in Donegal unfortunately....they took those from us also :(

    There is however a couple of tourist/fun type train runs but wouldnt be near Bundoran though. I'll see if I can find a couple of links and post them a little later.

    This appears to open from June - Sept. only. Its a nice trip but you would probably be driving for 45 mins or more to get there.

    There's also this little gem in Raphoe but again the opening dates wont suit. I think they open April - October. The dates are on the website somewhere but again distance would be a factor.

    In the mean time you could have a quick read through this thread especially the link in the first post :)

    I went surfing in Bundoran in mid-March a couple years back & it was grand. You're well suited up so you don't even feel the cold.
