Ireland long weekend 3 to 5 may 2014
First weekend bank holiday in May dates 3 - 5 traveling Saturday from Sunderland to Stranraer or Troon for the ferry then on to Moira where the cottage is 4 stars, that will be booked for two nights,
The Sunday will take in some really nice riding in the northern part of the Ireland or if you like to take in your own ride that's fine.

Sunday evening will be a lovely meal at The Tannery one of the finest food places in Ireland (not as expensive as you may think),

Monday morning ride to the ferry then from Stranraer or Troon back to Sunderland,

If you are interest in joining me and a friend, there is no set numbers as the cottage can sleep upto 8 very comfortable other cottages are available.

It make know difference if we meet up on route or at Stranraer or Troon ferry, I've been for the last two years its a nice easy going weekend for the start of the season, two people have dropped out this year so I thought I would post to see if anyone would be interested,

It's easy pace biking to run my new GSA in, few drinks on the night, nice food, good banter,
Cost.

Ferry £130.00 return
Accomadition £ 80.00 depends how many goes
Fuel. £. 80.00
Spending money
