It was suggested on the other thread that people could meet up near Newlands Cross on the N7 at around 10-11 o clock.Maybe the Applegreen filling station further on down the N7 heading South might be a good spot as there is plenty of parking just off the N7 and there is food and toilets there too.Anyone coming from the Midlands we could meet up just off the Portlaoise by-pass on the Cork road as per last year.

It will be a faster journey down too as Durrow and Abbeyleix will be bypassed by then.

Will try and meet up in Abbeyleix 2, all depends on what time my mate can knock off work at. What channel on the cb's will we be using over the weekend? Would be handy for meeting up with convoys on the way down.

Well Billy,

On a normal friday you will get through Abbeyleix heading south no problem up to about 12.30pm, after that you are looking at about up to 20mins delays. Durrow is never a problem.
Probs be best to be passing through Abbeyleix by 12pm and you'll have no delays.

Unfortunately the M7/M8 bypass wont be open until mid July.

i dont like the maybe part gareth!!!i [Colour=#FF0000]WILL[/Colour] be there,

I can assure you Kenneth i don't doubt you will be there. My comment of ''maybe'' only refered to the route you will be taking to Cork that you might not wish to travel up the country to Bunclody in order to then travel back South again.

but then again i now remember that you'll be running in an engine so random driving in the wrong direction won't matter.....

That along with the fact your crazy in your mini.... :lol:

Johnny Murphy is planning to get the Southern region members to meet at the Viaduct Inn on the Bandon Rd (N7, 1.5km from bandon rd roundabout on way to bandon) and any other members who would like to join us on trip down to WEST CORK.
Plan is meet up around 2pm and get on the road at 3pm.
Viaduct Inn will be serving food all day it has a fine big carpark so perfect chance for a break for those who have being travelling all Morning.
This is also the venue where the Southern region hold our monthly meetings.

I'll be leaving about 10.00/10.30 from the house and in Athlone for about 11.00/ 11.30. I'm bringing Joe's mini if anyone is wondering why its driving so slow :o

Have to drop into Limerick on the way down to collect herself. Its only in as far as Annacotty so not much of a detour. We'll stop for tea if it suits everyone.

Jason is going to rendezvous with us there, coming from Dublin, as he has an exam till late morning in college.

Hopefully leaving Limerick for Cork about 2.30/3.00pm.

Sure we'll start a list for meeting in Athlone.

If we leave applegreen on the N7 at 10:30, we should be in Abbeyleix by midday?

Should we start a list for the N7 Applegreen?
