Paul,
I am planning to do the road trip down to Jumpstart, travelling down in Friday 24th and staying over in Athlone then heading on to Jumpstart. Then tripping it back on Saturday ready for morning worship 8:15am on the Sunday. That's the plan so far!!
Keep me posted about any more NW trips and get togethers planned, really keen to explore more and discover the NW delights, especially Donegal - my breath was taken last week on that trip, but I am told the scenery gets even more epic the further west ya go.
What about doing a run to meet up with the Dutch invasion that MART and those guys are undertaking, when they in the area?

We spend the night near Ballyshannon.
