You may get something in Goleen, of failing that Skull -- you can check them out on your way through to Crookhaven.

Wouldn't have thought it.  Leaving very early and hoping to aviod any traffick in around Oxygen.  Clonakilty's bound to have a few bumping cars and the like

There should be something around clonakilty but you are at least 45 minutes on a good day away from there.  The good thing is that there are generally plenty of festivals in the early weeks of July which always have things on for kids.

I'll keep a look out in the papers this week for you.  I know that the Kinsale Arts Festival starts on the 7th July and there is stuff for the kids and adults but it is 2 hours from you.

Please leave the place tidy Benny. I'm heading down the week after you.

[ziggysego]

Mess it up good and proper, Orior going down the week after you.

Cheers BC, is the weather as shit on the Irish riviera as it is up here normally?

Bennydorano contacted me yesterday to express his disgust at the policy of the hotel towards GAA matches.
"we only show international sports" he was told when he asked to put the match on.
Rebel county my hole.

What hotel was that? So that the substantial booze budget of the Hardy household and extended hangers-on can be withdrawn from it, if necessary.
