Right, well we'll say 21st June is the date as no one has said it clashes with any other events.

Location= I'm open to ideas I'm near L'Derry but I wouldn’t want something too local as that not a proper run out so if anyone would like to suggest
1. Place to meet
2. Route
3. Finishing point

Go for it

Donegal town for finish location, photos etc?

Edited by r5vmr on Tuesday 26th May 16:59
Donegal Town is fine for me, how about everyone else?

BTW the roads in the South are way better than in the North now If you go via Letterkenny the only slow bit now is going through Ballybofey the rest is all good.

As for the route, Smaegol could you workout a route that would suit you and we'll see if everyone else is happy too.

What about round the lough (Neagh)? Anti-clockwise route. That will touch everyone from all areas, does that suit?
Fine for me, everyone else?

With this lineup wouldn't we be better hiring Kirkistown for a day??

Where are we having lunch? We'll also be needing somewhere exotic for a photo stop - Antrim Castle for example?

Cheers,

Hi guys,

I think when we have gotten an agreement on the trip around Lough Neagh we should stick to that. Theres no harm in organising another run to somewhere else as there's plenty of the summer left for that.

What I was thinking was that we could arrange a starting time/location and from there have a rough idea of points around the route that others could join.

The rough route is Antrim, Magherafelt, Dungannon, Moira so no excuses for anyone to say its too far away.

I will have a think about where to lunch/ photos etc but if you can recommend somewhere by all means let us know. first suggestion for photos by Flat6 is Shanes Castle but I would need to check if we need permission etc i'll let you know.

If its suits everyone, you could all call out to mine for a line up, a break, coffee and chat, some food and photo shots etc. There is plenty of space, nice location based on the North Coast so there are plenty of great Coastal routes! William you know the spot! If that didnt suit I know a few other locations! Glad to help if I can.
Cheers Sudesh but lets stick the the route around Lough Neagh this time, next time its your turn to do the organising wink

Are there no other older cars attending? As for the Sligo suggestion, sounds ok, but I personally don't want to put unnecessary excess mileage on the Lotus, a decent distanced, well organised route, with plenty of photographic opportunities would suit me, otherwise I'll give it a miss this time and attend next time with a more suitable vehicle.

Paul
for this run the route will be

rough route is Antrim, Magherafelt, Dungannon, Moira

No point us trying to run before walking, we''l keep it simple this first run and see how it goes and after that bigger/ longer distance events can be organised.
