Lads some of u locals up there mite be able to answer this.
Am going with a stag up there in july, looking for an activity to do on the saturday, paintballing, adventure, whatever!
Any ideas greatly appreciated
you could do a bit of bird watching M4s, especailly if the weather is hot ;)
Plenty to do in and around Letterkenny. There's a paintballing centre just two miles outside the town, haven't been but I've heard very good reports on it - www.letterkennypaintball.ie (0749128086).
There's an extreme karting centre a few miles down the road too. It's twenty minutes from the town but also supposed to be better than other go-karting tracks. It's well out in the sticks and the karts themselves can do up to 60mph on the track apparently - www.castlefinkarting.com (0868888041). Would be handy if you have a minibus for the weekend to tale you out.
If you can't travel out there's another karting place in the town Letterkenny Karting Centre, though know nothing of that at all.
Lifford dog track too is about 15 miles away...excellent set up.

Brilliant track and karts in the town.

Yeah there are serious women around that town.
Bring a gumshield if you have one, it could come in handy at the end of the night.
A wild town.

I can testify to that!!! Rough as fcuk! Got slaps from two different sets of boys for nothing one night! Be careful to stay with your mates after a nightclub as I duked away on my own for a piss and was caught! Crowd of kn**ker cnuts!!!

Your from Derry right? No Derry man ever got slapped for nothing.
That's all the Strabane and Derry tramps! Go to one of those towns on a weekend night and all you will see is fights.

Didn't you get your lights punched out one night by someone from another Derry club, Slaughtneill I think, because you called them 'inbreds' on here? Might have the wrong person
Always thought these activities were just good covers to be passed off to the women back home instead of dicsclosing the truth about all day boozing and seedy titty bars!
Shure them Knockmore bucks do like to spend their time outdoors.......

seriously screen exile, you could do with sitting in the house, how many slaps have you got over the years.

Was thinking that myself, there seems to be a recurring theme with screenexile and getting hammerings after disco's. ;D
The paintballing is excellent.
It seems to be run by like a local and his wife. It's not too dear and there's a we bit of Mrs Doyle about your woman. For lunch she brings out the sandwiches. You could feed an army with the number she makes and she has one of them industrial tea pots too so you'll be looked after!!
The paintballing games are good too- there's excellent terrain for them. It was very wet when we were there so all the better.

I see no mention of knockmore there!
Cheers lads for the info, sounds like paintballing for us!
God you boys are some craic... the time I was in Letterkenny I definitely got slapped for no reason... had just taken a piss down an alley and some guy started batin me... then when I got away from him a couple of guys got out of a car and had a go as well. It's lucky my stealth like speed helped me from getting a bad kicking.
As for the other incident you are referring to, well that's all in the past now. Ballinascreen and Slaughtneil have participated in a number of cross community events in order to put events like those mentioned in the past... Long may it continue (For my sake at least!)

Did you ever think that they maybe just didn't like some Derry whippet master coming into their town and pissing all over the place?
Also the chances are that the lads that smacked you where from Derry city or Strabane - and btw a Derry man calling anyone a kn**ker is a joke!
Hang on a second... I have as much dislike for Derry City people as the next man (Not all but a fair few). There is an extreme difference between people from the city and other parts of Derry so don't be so quick to shout.
As for calling people knackers I think you'll find I am referring to lads who tried to start on me for no reason... I'm not allowed to do this? I would have thought I had good enough reason to do so.
Anyway let's get back on topic. Letterkenny is usually a good place to go just mind yourself as there are people who like to beat up stragglers in a group (whether they be from Derry City/Strabane or Letterkenny itself).
In other words watch out for the balubas!
Never had a bit of bother in Letterkenny and I have been going there for years (in all kinds of shape), but then I don't go looking for trouble, also try to respect anywhere I go, generally by not pissing in public! ::)
I spent one night ever in Letterkenny. My first few hours in bed were sleepless as the American girl in the room on the other side of the cardboard wall of the hotel bedroom, 'entertained' three successive visitors who came to say 'goodbye' to her as she was going home the next day.
At about three in the morning I decided to go down to reception and get shifted to another room, as this was likely to go on all night. There was nobody around in reception but I could see the rack of keys on the wall behind the counter and I went in to get one for another room. When I did, I tripped over the night porter lying asleep on his back with an accordion open across his chest.
I used to think of Salvador Dali anytime I heard the word 'surreal'. Now I think of Letterkenny.

Very adult there screenexile, you want to start slagging places off and insulting the locals, then don't be surprised if someone pulls you up.

So take your own advice.

Where did I say anything about Letterkenny people? I said the town is rough but I never said it was a local that set upon me, I could well believe it was someone from Strabane or Derry, am I not allowed to call someone a kn**ker cnut for punching me for blatantly no reason whatsoever?

You don't know anything about the incident and the way you have portrayed it is as if I hung the lad out in the street, started having a slash and said "Come on ye bastards"... which is not anything close to what happened!
People can have many different experiences of different places and my experience of L'kenny is not a good one... the fact is that there are knackers there (from Derry, Strabane or Letterkenny) who are willing to pick on drunk guys who happen to be on there own and give them hidings for no reason, and I am not just going on my own experience. How about we just agree to disagree on this one!

Fair point, but my experience of Omagh was gained over a number of years and not one visit.

I cant let it this one slide;
You said it here, i just gave them a "name"
QuoteDid you ever think that they maybe just didn't like some Derry whippet master coming into their town and pissing all over the place?
And you have absolutely no idea where they were from, just like screenexile has no idea where they were from. But given that it happened it letterkenny he has every right to call it a rough town. He never called the people that are from letterkenny rough!

Still, if you are going to have strong opinions that you arent shy about sharing - it seems more than a tad self righteous to be pullin exile up for a story that he at least tried to portray in jest.
Unless of course it was your alleyway he pissed in.
Communities cant have it both ways, when you go through that purple patch of being the town everyone wants to go out in - some people are going to get in trouble and not have a favourable opinion.

Fair enough, and btw I've been on the receiving end of two beatings (for being in the wrong place at the wrong time/and being a taig) so I sympathise with what happened to you, but I hate hearing the auld sod getting a slating. ;)
Must say had a savage weekend in Letterkenny.
Paintballing was great craic, run by a sound crowd
Was in The Central Bar and Downstairs in Voodoo on Friday nite and The Cavern and upstairs in Voodoo Saturday nite, Central bar was quiet but that was needed after coming from Dublin/Mayo and Teh other 3 were savage spots, I'd imagine if u were a local u mite get pissed off with all the hens and stags, 7 hens in that cavern sat nite.
But the talent was savage and not a bit of a row or bad blood anywhere we went.
Great spot, will be recommending it to all
