Meet up 2017

[Diz]

Hi all. Thinking about next year, around the end of summer. I have just had a day out over on Achill Island. More of a looksee than anything, and was quite impressed. Lots of rugged coast with the Atlantic trying to make it more so. Abandoned village, megalithic bits and Pirate Queens towers etc. So lots to point at. Anyone fancy a weekend meet over there? I can see if any hotel will do a good rate for block bookings etc. Giz a shout if you fancy it.
Cheers
Diz

I'm sure I could do this maybe early spring, late April, early May, have been there a few times, it's a great spot lots of opportunities.

Bert, there's Knock Airport in County Mayo which is the same county as Achil, I'm unsure which airlines fly into it from around Europe.

If you have a date in mind for this weekend I could check. But beware: Sunday April 30, 2017 is the next Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day.

I've been looking for an excuse to visit Ireland for some time -- would love to tag along as a shifty foreigner

Its turning into a bit of an international meet How about May 5-7? The rain should be getting a little warmer by then. A quick look on booking.com was showing room's with breakfast at around 75-150 yoyo's for 2 nights.
