Friday Peer Paddle, Wexford

Post by tallpersononboard » Wed Sep 06, 2023 10:12 pm

So, who's about and from what time for a peer paddle Friday? I'm thinking early afternoon, something local to camp.


@JohnD also has the following message...;

Hi all,

I hope to get down to Fethard-on-Sea early on Friday. Would you be interested in a peer paddle around Hook Head. Mid to late morning start. Start/finish point to be determined.

John

Campsite is cash only.

2 ATMs in Fethard, one in Wellingtonbridge SuperValu. 6 in Gorey that are either not working or have no cash, as I discovered earlier! :D
