Lots of people wax lyrical about Remkoska's which are radiant ovens or Ninja's which are fan assisted radiant(convection?).
Also height restriction barriers at beauty spots, not toilet waste facilities-now let me think why would that be, maybe we are all too concerned about what the ramifications might be were we to mention it!It's raining again, why are there no rubbish bins in Ireland?
I'd be keen to know the potential ramifications you suggest, if not actually mentioning whatever might lead to them. I'm sure we could work back from there
I suspect pandas may be referring to the permanent travellers and the issues that some of them can raise through illegal use of car parks etc. If that is what panda means there is no issue as far as I can see with raising that?I'd be keen to know the potential ramifications you suggest, if not actually mentioning whatever might lead to them. I'm sure we could work back from there
New thread though so as not to ruin Barries travelogue.
But I have only just had my drive done!
I thought you were doing the Wild Atlantic Way? lol
. We stopped at a Lidl on the way to stock up on wine amongst other stuff. It's raining again now so another free van wash, and lunch was pork belly in BBQ sauce together with roast potatoes (not van roasties this time) and another bottle of Chilean wine.
No, I never said that, we are just winging it to Omagh in the north. Tipperary was only 107km from where we were and I was specifically looking for a site with EHU because the battery was getting low. So no, it's not a long way, depending on where you are, obviouslyI thought you were doing the Wild Atlantic Way? lol
Your nowhere near it in Roscrea Co.Tipperary
(It's a long way apparently,) to the sweetest girl I know
and the sweetest girl I know is travelling with me.....
Well if it stops raining we might well go for a walk about.
Is that sweat? Bloody boiling here!!
Nope, the sky is crying. (RIP Gary Moore).
I knew Gary very well, I used to sell newspapers for his dad Bobby
Really? just wow! He was a big influence when I did start playing guitar.
Yes we were good mates and he stayed true right up until his death, on one occasion in the early 2000s he brought me back stage when he supported Bob Dylan in Galway something I'll never forget
Amazing. They're both legends
Yes Eric's a really sound guy I think he's a fantastic guitarist and as Phil Lynnot himself said Eric was the only one out of all of them including Gary who could play Whiskey in the Jar properly! LolAmazing. They're both legends
No CaptainPaul , it's all good stuff and either way it's my fault for mentioning Gary in the first placeYes Eric's a really sound guy I think he's a fantastic guitarist and as Phil Lynnot himself said Eric was the only one out of all of them including Gary who could play Whiskey in the Jar properly! Lol
You'll see them together on YouTube in a video 'one night in Dublin' tribute to Phil Lynnot
Sorry for the thread drift Barrie I'll shut up now!

Straight through mate no border stuffBelturbet marina in county Cavan today, very close to the border now, another lovely spot by the waterways and free of charge. No services, not even rubbish bins (it's getting tiresome now) and lots of signs prohibiting loose dogs and threatening a €3.000 fine for letting them shit without cleaning up. Nobody takes any notice, obviously, but they can't put bins for the rest of us. Anyway, I digress, it's a wonderful place, mostly level with boats, swans and ducks all around. It hasn't actually rained today (yet) but no sunshine so will probably be looking for a camping tomorrow to charge the battery. Van lunch was Morrocan style kebabs that we still had from the other day, Irish black and white puddings (excellent), asparagus and van roasties. A Chilean wine once more, which was very good. As I am writing this the sun has come out, let's see how long that lasts

After lunch, Toñi saw a (flock, gaggle, committee?) of swans in the water and started talking to them. They must have been understanding her as they came in a lot closer. Spanish swans maybe? do swans go on holiday to other countries like we do?

So we are crossing the border tomorrow, are there controls now or is it still just straight through?
You will know you have crossed when you see a few bins.
Yeah, and Marta the GPS chic will be saying yards instead of metres tooYou will know you have crossed when you see a few bins.
You'll hardly want a campsite between Belturbet and Omagh ?Yeah, and Marta the GPS chic will be saying yards instead of metres too
