Looking to organise something in the Kilkenny area on Sat 20th March (next Saturday). Maybe a meet in Kilkenny and then head towards Waterford and then on towards tramore. Its just an idea to make a day of it so if anyone is interested, post below and we'll make definate arrangements.
Kilkenny/Waterford 20th March
- Thread starter Rez
- Start date
Was just chatting with the Kilkenny lads tonight. If no Waterford people are up for this we'd be happy to meet up somewhere else for a spin. Maybe if the Tip, Portlaoise, Wexford or somewhere similar are interested we could head in your direction?
I think we should meet up for breakfast and go on the route Trev suggested. It's a nice scenic route.
Spoke to Eamonn and Padraic today and because there doesn't seem to be a huge interest we're just gonna take a spin down to Tramore for a fish and trip run.
If anyone is interested I'll be at Woodies on the Kilkenny ring road at half 9 in the morning and I'm meeting the lads in their bus and bug on the road. Hope some of ye can join us or even meet us in Waterford? We were in up in Padraic's all day preparing his beetle and he sorted my electrics. I was delighted to be able to drive in the dark tonight!
Hopefully we'll see a few of ye tomorrow.

Jesus thats a lovely red bug, their all lovely.
Kev fair play to you bringing your nephew, nothing like getting them hooked young.
We use to go to Stradbally every year and it was great fun, get a bruse in the same spot cause of those flipping bumper cars!

Had a fantastic day. It ended up being just myself and Padraic (podsyb). Met in Kilkenny around 10 this morning and headed towards Waterford. The weather started clearing up within the first half an hour which gave way to the nicest day of the year so far. You could really smell the summer (if that makes sense). Anyway, off to Waterford we went without incident. Actually thats a lie. I was making hand gestures to him where to go at one stage and he missed a huge pot hole. Smacked his adjuster off the road pretty hard!
Cruised out to tramore to find a stunning day and an open chipper, then up towards the cliff top to admire the view and more importantly create some photo opportunities. One mad hure was actually swimming in the cove! From there we crossed over to Dunmore east for a few more snaps around the harbour while getting alot of interest from passers by. Slight hiccup with Padraic's car here so out came the tool box and we were on our way again soon. Up to another car park on a cliff more more snaps and shite talkin before we headed for home. When we got to the quays in Waterford I caught a glimpse of something yellow in my mirror followed by a familiar sound. A stunning beach buggy roared into view a few cars back. Other road users scattered and let him catch us. He then pulled ahead of us and I signalled to him if he wanted to cruise for a bit. He nodded and then took off up a hill. Soon after, I lost first gear briefly at a junction and couldn't find him again. I've seen the buggy in Waterford before but don't know the driver. On here maybe?
Anyway, back to Kilkenny then and it was time for the coffee. Loads more interest as we cruised through high st.
All in all, including the drive from Limerick and back I racked up over 270 miles this weekend in the new bug and apart from the stuck door and 1 blown fuse she never missed a beat. I'm really looking forward to the summer
I left my usb lead in Kilkenny so I'll buy another tomorrow and upload pics then. I think Padraic might have some.
