<t>Right, here goes.<br/> <br/> There were only 2 answers given to this quiz, one public and one private, giving answers 325 and 330 respectively. 325 wins as being closest, so congratulations to Sarah Murphy who will hear from the National Lottery as to her prize in due course.<br/> The information...

<t>There are some remarkable absentees from this exercise. What has happened to all the level 5s, the old ones, the new ones, this week\'s wannabees ? Whoever set the first quiz surely must roll up their sleeves? I note from a recent TND article that GPS was used by one group making this crossing th...

<t>The only people who might recognise an undistinguished looking low grass topped gravel bank surrounded by water would be either some peculiar individual with an obsession for the like, or a local paddler (or both?).

The \"old\" pier, the one at Ring, is at X299-888. On the OS its Ballynagaul but gaelgoiri know it as Baile na Gall, or foreignersville. Turn left after Ring Irish College. The \"new\" pier is at Helvick X313-892. Oileáin page 52. Great campervan spot.

<r>A signed and dedicated copy of Oileáin might make the perfect present for someone on your radar screen. I do have some copies left and I can oblige.
