Thanks for that Brian. You thinking of heading back this way? Have a couple of fan belts here if you need them. LOL  

Just to keep this moving along - anyone else fancy a mk1 driving weekend in Ireland?

Meanwhile @CRANKY is checking out the hotel this weekend - maybe take a few pics for us?

All going well pop up some prices in the next week or so…

Might try and link with lhasadreams to firm up on numbers travelling from UK.

Should be a great weekend on the Ring of Kerry.

Well Paul as been out on his two wheels this weekend and sends back these images to wet the appetite…

Hey all,

Any further news with regards to pricing please ?  

I have secured 15 rooms in the Sneem hotel in Sneem Co Kerry which will be opened up on a first come served basis. You will ring and make your own booking and hold with credit card etc

Paul stayed there last weekend and was happy with facilities food and location. Nice quiet location with good parking.

I have the price structure on my home pc ill access it tomorrow as I am away tonight.

2B&B with dinner on the sat night is €99 per person. Have other options for single supplement and longer stays etc.

We should probably firm up anyone who who wishes to travel? Ade will look after boat options.

At the moment i am home at the start of September but will have to leave it till the last minute to confirm as our leave plot has a habbit of changing direction like the wind. I can always borrow Jades tent and camp
