Upcoming Break
Posted: Fri 9 May, 2008 Filed under: Animals, Domestic, Driving, Travel 1 Comment »At the end of the month, we’re going over to Ireland for a week’s holiday – and I’m really looking forward to it.
Getting there will be interesting – we’re taking Hound, and the car, so it’s going to be a matter of driving the 350ish miles from Norfolk right the way across the country to Haverfordwest, staying overnight there, getting up at stupid o’clock to get on the vomit comet ferry across to Ireland, then driving another 190 miles all the way across Ireland to where we’re staying near Glenbeigh, on the Ring of Kerry. All told, about 550 miles plus ferry crossing – and the same on the way back, of course. Bearing in mind it was only about 250 miles to get up to the Lake District, that really is going some.
As it is it’s looking like it’ll be a good week. We’ve got what looks like a stunning house lined up, and then plan to just spend the week going round the Ring of Kerry and just relaxing again. I foresee lots of photos…
I’m also planning on doing a bit of writing while I’m away – although I said that when we went to the Lake District too, and got absolutely sod-all done on that score, so we’ll just see what works and what doesn’t.
But I can tell you now, I’m just about counting the days…
Dude, drop the fuck in if you’re around. I’m on the South Side of Dublin, mail me with your movements and we’ll hook up for a few ciders.
