Thanks to Dave for all his work in organising the weekend and encouraging and cajoling everyone to come along.
We are looking forward to welcoming all to Portrane. Camping in a large private field 300m from the beach with basic camping facilities; space for tents, parking, running water and latrine, no showers, no fridge, think off-shore camping rather than full facility campsite. Saturday's launch point for Lambay is only a few minutes drive.
It's a bit tricky to find us so follow the signs from the green in Portrane. Signs will be out and I will be there from 3pm on Friday. My better half has offered to cook a nice bowl of chilli for first comers on Friday evening. Can’t guarantee how long it will last though.
We have lots of firewood for the campfire and a small marquee just in case. Bring all your usual camp gear and don’t forget to pack a camp chair.
There is a newsagent beside the green in Portrane for milk and last minute stuff and a fully stocked Supervalu 5 minutes away in Donabate. It may be wise to buy perishables (and cold beer) there rather than trying to keep them cool in the heat. Otherwise the bottom of the boat is probably the coolest spot you will find this weekend. Oh and don’t forget to pack the sun cream.
