    Hey there,

    We have a new competition with Denny.

    bed-and-breakfast-sign%282%29.jpg

    We're giving away a B&B break for two in any B&B in Ireland to the value of €150.

    You'll also win a Denny Picnic Hamper to help you enjoy the Taste of Home Outdoors this Summer.

    Picnic%20Basket%201%282%29.jpg

    There's lots of Denny products and other great stuff to make sure you and three friends have a lovely picnic.

    Here's all the details you need to know:
    Denny_TOH_outdoors_Lockup.jpg

    Summer has arrived and it’s time to go al fresco!

    Denny is moving their home outdoors and touring the length and breadth of the country over the coming months, bringing a little taste of home to people when they're out and about. They could show up anywhere your sandwich takes you!

    To celebrate this Denny is offering you the chance to win a B&B break in any Irish destination of your choice and a beautiful picnic hamper full of delicious Denny product to make sure you enjoy the taste of home outdoors this summer!

    To be in with a chance to win this great summer getaway, simply share your favourite sandwich spot! Most creative answer wins!

    To get you thinking, see some of Denny's top sandwich spots below...do you agree or do you have a better idea?
    1. Camaderry, Co Wicklow – as Ireland’s garden county, everywhere you turn there’s a super sandwich spot
    2. The Burren, Co Clare – you don’t need grass for a picnic you know!
    3. Fota Island, Cork – enjoy your lunch surrounded by amazing wildlife!
    4. Glencarr Waterfall, Co Leitrim – make a splash and work up an appetite!
    5. Lough Boora Parklands, Co Offaly – take your sandwich to artistic surroundings
    6. The Spraoi Festival in Waterford and Killarney Summerfest – top picnic blanket spots for family festival fun!
    7. Parkes Castle, Co Leitrim – enjoy your sandwich as the lords did!
    8. Inish Oirr Island – follow in the footsteps of Father Ted and let your sandwich take you somewhere really remote!
    9. Gurteen Bay in Roundstone, Galway – the perfect beach spot

    This is all to celebrate Denny's new ads that are currently on TV - they follow a group of real GAA supporters from Ardfinnan in Co Tipperary on their way to the All Ireland last year, enjoying their ham sandwiches.

    All of Denny's ads were filmed in Irish homes from all over the country and feature real people on special occasion in their lives - the first ad in the series followed a bride from Galway on the morning of her wedding Day, and a father and son at the races, and they have a few more on the way, including kids on their first day of school and a band moving in together.

    For great tips on the making the most of the outdoors this summer and a list of places Denny will be heading over the summer, see http://www.homeis.ie

    Denny is also donating €1 to the Simon Communities of Ireland, the organisation who supports those experiencing homelessness, on behalf of every person who registers online!

    Got all of that? Basically, where in Ireland would you suggest is Ireland's best spot to have a sandwich?

    Terms and Conditions: We'll be picking the winner from all the creative responses on Wednesday, June 30. The competition is open to all Boards.ie members and no cash alternative is available. Judge's decision is final. Thanks Denny for the prize!

    It has to be Glendalough. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world, it is surrounded by nature and history and on a hot summer day you have a lovely lake to paddle your feet! What more could you want....maybe a rasher sandwich!! Perfection!

    Mourne Mountains, Co Down. Walk half way up the Glen River out of Newcastle, break out of the trees, the river's beside you, Slieve Donard and Comedagh above you. Sun shining. Perfect place for a picnic for hungry hikers.

    Carraroe Beach, Co.Galway

    The beach is made of fine coral, no sand. Its so remote, its not frequently visted, i had a picnic with the other half there, and the only sound was the water trickling through the coral.

    Flask of warm tea and ham sambos, cant beat it.

    Ballysaggartmore Towers at Lismore - hidden away up a tree lined path, a romatic folly in a little meadow, with a paved river! It was not built as a 'folly', its the real thing - but now its a magical area just perfect for picnics.

    There are areas around the Blessington Lakes which are fantastic for picnics. On a really warm day, with little or no wind, the lake looks almost like a giant mirror. Couple this with the bakcdrop of the Wicklow mountains and you have the ideal spot to just chill out and relax with all your prepacked goodies. Beautiful!

    Sorrento Park (Dalkey) for me.

    You've the views of Howth, Dalkey Island, Killiney Bay, Sugar Loaf...(and Sorrento Terrace if you like looking at fine houses).
    You can sit on rocks, in gras or on a bench - whatever you prefer.

    And most important hardly any people.

    Definitely on the summit of Croagh Patrick (on a clear day & not on Reek Sunday, unless you want to be trampled). The views are amazing:

    Banna Strand, County Kerry.
    Beautiful beach, beautiful area, beautiful views.
    Roger Casement, himself, would have paused for a rasher sandwich there.

    Anywhere away from my dog Lucy or cat Pip. One reproachful look from either of them and you can say goodbye to your Denny ham!

    If I ever do manage to escape from their clutches (paws), I'd imagine the view from Juliet's Balcony in Verona would make for an appetite increasing experience. I only saw it from below, perhaps I should have scaled it for the perfect sanger?! :eek:
