So whats the plan for the guys heading down from dublin? what time are ye heading at?

I was thinking of heading around lunch time

I'm picking up my co-driver up on the way down so will be making my way from Castledermot.

Tip for those leaving from Dublin on Friday:

Remember it is a long drive down (about 5 hours without stops) so allow yourself enough time to get there with Friday traffic en route, getting lost etc!!!

Drivers Sign On starts at 7pm.

If you think you are there when you get to Cork city think again.It will as much again to get there from Dublin.

heading down shortly after brekkie... soon as the morning rush has died away.

Maybe its time to start a few convoy threads

Nice map Keith, it even has the ash cloud over Co. Limerick

i guess someplace near M50/N7 jct.

From Cork, I would take the N71 through Bandon, Clon, Skibb etc down to Mizen.

I can meet people at Newlands Cross on the N7. We were thinking of going at about 10 or 11..?

sounds like a good time & place

Tell me about it..... We let Macker take the lead last year... He found roads so small that i think some of them were just peoples drive ways or farmers fields with a bit of gravel on the edge.....
His sat nav even displayed the message ''your on your own mate''

you could allways see if someone was willing to share the driving in their own mini

If it's any help, I did Mallow to Colla last Saturday in 1hr 45mins and that was with a 16' car transporter.

We are away in the morning to somthing we call RIV RUN,, maybe you have seen it in the Mini World Mag.... be home sometime on Monday, have a good weekend one and all, and yes I do have everything ready for the MTM,, so all we got to do when we get home , is re pack the Mini, with the stuff piled up on the sofa in the study,,,

Cheers for the offer danny but my engine still aint ready .Any body need a co pilot?Or have a mini i could rent for the weekend?
