WAW BBQ

As you and many people know my life has been shit over the last 2 years or so, i had some great news on Friday that is a welcome comfort.
Have a great one @Fight the streets Fmd all the best and thanks dude. (y)
I hope the good news will keep on coming for you Wayne, I had shit times in my life but the sunny side always wins, remember that there is only one person in the world who can make you happy Wayne, that’s the person who looks at you when you stare in the mirror, go for it, you only live once so make the most of it👍
 
Right. I blame Frank aka @Fight the streets Fmd, (who better bloody come now) I also blame the 2 bottles of wine (at least, “who are you f&&King kidding😮”) and large espresso Martini I had over lunch at ours today. Mind you in my defence it wasnt just me, there were 10 of us - and now I’ve got loads of fecking empties to get rid of. Anyway, enough of my problems.

I’m organising a jolly along the WAW for next year. There, I’ve said it now. It will have to happen, for all a man has is his word and if he says he’ll do something he bloody well ought to.

Here’s the rough plan in my somewhat inebriated state.

This is a DC event.

Anyone who’s a paid up subscriber can take part.

(pssss, I’m making this up as I type🤦🏻)

It will happen in 🤔 end of May/early June next year.

You have to get you and your bike to Belfast.

I will then lead you on a merry dance around the Causeway Coast and the WAW for the next 7 days or so - it’s a whistle stop tour.

We end up in Schull where we have a BBQ at mine and then you all feck off back to Dublin and the ferry and your respective homes.

For those of you who don’t ride anymore you can just fly straight to mine, well to Cork and then get to me.

I haven’t told Anne, she’ll go ballistic, but I’ll cross that bridge later. I’ve just made all this up whilst sitting on the downstairs loo. But it’s happening.

So, who’s in ?

Here’s a photo for those that need them.

ps. I don’t want any excuses from certain members, you need to get on your bike and travel further afield.
I'm well up for it. I was going to do such a trip anyway, but probably not so soon. Just getting to Belfast is a bit of a trek for me. In fact it could be easier for me to get to Dublin and meet you there - either when you are going North or South!

Or, forget Northern Ireland altogether, nd just a tour of the republic?

Thank you man, it has been a tough time, i know i bore everybody on my Loomies trips and Salisbury but it is a big thing for me.
I have a lot of conections with the place, long story and great roads, peace!!

It’s only 149 miles from Berkeley to Birkenhead.

There’s a night crossing with Stena that departs at 10.30pm. You get to have a couple of drinks and then sleep (book a cabin) arriving in Belfast bright and early the following morning. It’s do-able.

You can of course take the scenic route through Wales and then stop overnight somewhere there, make it part of the trip.
 
All possible. I haven't looked into crossings for ages. In the past, I've only ever done Fishguard to Rosslare. And may still do, as I prefer to do more riding in Ireland.
See above ⬆️ plus it’s all one country of Ireland, just two different geo-political areas. Also, the Causeway Coast is stunning and will include a trip to The Giant’s Causeway and Bushmills Distillery 👍

ps. I’m still making it up as I go along 😁
It sounds a hoot. If it doesn't clash with my fourth attempt to ride to Greece I'm in. Thank you.

If you change your mind when the alcohol wears off; it's too late you're committed 🇮🇪🏁
👍 I’m definitely about to be committed. I think I’ll wait until next year to tell Anne 🤣
I’d like to think that this’ll be doable for me, but it’ll be dependant on a couple of criteria beyond my control.

On a separate note are you still supporting a man bun?
👍 Never had a man bun, just got the beard and moustache since this year. One step at a time 😁
Fishguard to Rosslare.
Despite Fishguard being closer to you it means you’ll end up the wrong end of the island from everyone else, head to Birkenhead for the night crossing to Belfast, or as Dox said go Holyhead Dublin then a quick whizz up the M1 to Belfast.

In that case I owe you an apology; I’ve taken your avatar as a ‘memoji’ representation of yourself complete with man bun and then judged you, it appears incorrectly. I’ve seen your picture with resplendently flowing silver locks, slender figure and rugged good looks (complete with knowing smirk}.
