Possible route idea
Just been looking at the map and stuff today....

Meet in Yeats tavern, Silgo for breakfast
Leave there and go to enniskillen then back towards ballyshannon along the lakes (should be a nice scenic route) and back to Donegal town. (should take a bit over an hour from silgo to ballyshannon and we can break then or go on whatever people prefer)

I was thinking we could have a convoy starting in ballybofey to silgo (if anyone want to start one their end then thats perfect)

Just a possibility :)

Can we pull this forward to February, or should I start a new thread for that ?

I want to get out & about. Can't think of a better reason than to meet some fellow eircooled folk.
Went to sligo today & kept wishing I wasn't in the daily driver. Sleet or no sleet.

Ok Just an update on the route,
Starting at mullen's filling station (beside Ford/Mazda garage in Silgo) meet around 10:30am. They have lots of parking and serve breakfast rolls, coffee's sandwich's etc and have Toilet facilities but sadly no sit down area. (best we could get in silgo with parking and breakfast stuff, Yeats Tavern could only do Tea and scones).

Head then for Enniskillen which will take over an hour in a convoy, it is a scenic route and is lovely route with a few stops for views and to ensure everyone is still ok.

Arrive at Round "O"'s park in enniskillen (beside portora royal school) with suggested flask of tea/coffee and have a rest period where people can go into the town or just talk about cars (aircooled only lol) there are toilet facilities here too

Head then for Ballyshannon which will take about 40-45 minute and enjoy the scenes of the lakes,

Arrive in ballyshannon and finish at Maggies Bar & Resturante where a main course meal can be got for €10 (which you don't have to get, if we have a few going I will push for a better deal) they have plenty of parking too, and break from here

Total milage is around 66 miles
What other run takes you through 5 different counties all inside 3hrs! lol

The run on the 3. of April would be fine with me (but always depending on the weather - the last Sligo meeting was simply much too wet). I probably would join between Glenfarne and Blacklion (at junction with Dowra road) on the way to Enniskillen. This month would be not good with me because of the cold weather - I have still some problems with carb icing!
