Mountain Rehab - almost final plans!!

ooooooh! What an exciting afternoon we have just had!  Ray and I have just been busting our guts getting this sorted and now we are there!!  Yay!!

This is it!!
The dates: Thur 22nd- Mon 26th May (so you only have to get one day off work (or none and come up a bit later).

And we are going to.....
                (drum roll please....)

I- R-E -L-A-N-D!!  Woo hoo!

Dunes near Inch Beach, Kerry, Ireland

The plan is to kill several birds with one stone (none of this 2 in the hand stuff - we're going for 3!!)

You can surf, cycle and walk there.  The idea is for everyone to feel comfortable being as active, or inactive, as they would like.  We are going to hire a cottage and some bikes so we have a base and then the rest is going to be pretty impromptu.

We wanted to post this now as there are some flight offers with Ryanair (or just cheap flights!) and the sooner we buy them, the more cost effective it is.  Once we know who is interested the details can be given out in more personal emails (well - once we have all the addresses).

It is also fine if you would like to come out for some, but not all, of the time too.  How long or short a stay is up to you.  The start and leave dates are going to stay the same though.  You definitely won't be alone as Ray and I will definitely be there!!

So - if you are happy to say whether you are in/out that would be great, or if you just want to be incluided in the emails until you decide - that's ok too.

It would also be good to know if you have a budget and feel you can't come.  We will do the best to get a price that suits everyone.  So if you have a budget, do let us know.  I know we are working on one!!

The rest, as they say, will make history!!

Perfect Inch

yay!!
... and now the destination and dates are sorted, everyone that's interested can get stuck in sorting out the details cos I haven't a clue where to start! haha :-)
I'm interested and I've emailed daxie.  Do you have anywhere more specific than "Ireland" at the moment?
oops! we forgot that bit, hehe. It'll be Kerry :-)
I got your email Richard... reply on the way... :)

and yeah, we've decided on Kerry. 

I have been looking into hiring bikes and things and its really not as daunting/difficult as we thought Ray..

Surf lessons are my next looking into thing.  Can't really do accommodation until we have an approximate probable number...  but requesting quotes on 8-10 people properties.

:)
if I was still here, I would have definitely come on this trip. I've never been to Ireland and the place sounds amazing.
i wish you could come as I think it would be fun...  Let us know when you head back this way and we can organise something else for then too  (or a reunion trip!)

Are you around for the socials on the 15th/29th? 

I did tousle between worship central and the social, but I figure I will go to the evening worship at the end of the worship central day (getting tickets hopefully).
really sorry guys - D & I are off to the Isle of Man TT races instead!
Arrghh!  Dilemma!

I've never been to Ireland and the trip sounds great.

But that Thursday will be an important revision lesson in preparation for my mock exam the following week (with the real exam a little over a week after the mock). 

So I should really be studying, so I don't think that I can come.
Can you be persuaded to study in the cottage?  Only if you feel you could get stuff done there though...

(we promise we'll be quiet - won't we Ray and Richard??)
