Hi All,

After much deliberation behind the scenes we have decided to book the Premier Inn in Colraine www.premierinn.com
Main points were that if we were heading up on the saturday we should get most of the drive up done and leave ourselves with a short one to the meet the next morning:

So details are:

3hrs 20mins drive on Saturday to Premier Inn, Coleraine www.premierinn.com

20mins drive to meet at BBQ sunday morning

Probably meet at blanch and head about 1pm to get there for 4.30ish, check in, get grub and go for a drive for some photo opportunities and maybe a swim in the sea, or other ideas welcome, bushmills distillery is down the road

Rates for premier Inn are only £51 per room, yes i said per room, So if you want to share, book a twin room and its only £25.50 a head

List for Saturday at the moment is:

Mnixon (Twin?)
dshamrock & passenger(Ozzy) - Twin Room Booked
Swagger & passenger (Twin?) - Twin Room Booked
MR2 Gal(provisional?)

Hey Guys, Twin room wouldn't be an option for me as I'm the only Girl in the Club and its Pretty Pricey for me on my Own, I may have to sit this one out now!

Do ya not have any mates? A sister, an aunty? A granny petrolhead? Bring someone along, company on the drive too ya know? Then they can share the room and a pizza.

Surely youre not that shy

You could do the whole thing as one booking and split the bill among the 4 or 5 staying.

OR

pick up a bloke in Coleraine, bring him back to the hotel and then tell him he owes you for half the room

I dont mind splitting the bill, say £51 X 4rooms = £204 divided by 6 = £34 per person, its well worth not leaving anyone out. thats about €40 a head

List for Saturday at the moment is:

Mnixon - Accomodation Sorted
dshamrock & passenger(Ozzy) - Accomodation Twin Room Booked
Swagger & passenger (Twin?) - Accomodation Twin Room Booked
MR2 Gal(provisional?)

Hi All, Is anyone else consdering heading up on the saturday?

Hi Guys, I'm hoping to make it to the run, but it would only be a day trip for me due to family commitments.

You could easily do the first three in an afternoon - about 1-1.5 hour at each with 5-10 mins drive between them. All are well signposted as well.

Asda .... WTF??? are you planning to do your weekly shop while your in the north

Its quite near the hotel, So when you forget to buy burgers etc for the BBQ just give us a bell, Asda would be much cheaper than the southern supermarkets, hmm maybe I'll bring the corolla

meat already ordered, bread to be ordered tomorrow, all other items sourced and will be bought on Friday.

All in hand .... I just need the bloody weather to play ball

Good ideas, I was actually thinking of paying a visit to the Giant's causeway at dawn on sunday, I haven't committed myself yet but I reckon there's good pics to be had

Interms of the Saturday ... I could meet you guys here Google street view clicky

I know there are some roadworks along this road so if this doesn't work I will be somewhere after that. How about 1pm???

I will take you to Moira drive thru (as seen on facejacker) for food and then where ever you want after that

Any thoughts??

see you tomorrow lunch time guys?????

sounds good, want to call it 1.30??

Hi Mark, are we meeting you at 12 at mc donalds blanch?

I'm going to be in town in the morning and plan to leave at 12, will be hitting the m1 by 12.15 ish, that should give plenty of time to meet spanky. do you want to aim to hit the m1 for around that time? i'll ring you when i get on the m1, whoever is ahead can slow down to let the other catch up?

Yes thats fine

Enjoy the drive & sight seeing lads, and Dave enjoy ASDA
