    or might bring the bike with me its only 20 k from the train st

    Bike?
    And you expect to run after?
    And you have never been down here before?

    An unwise move. Trust me.
    Have a search to see if you can find how many road traffic collisions have happened on the N28 in recent years.

    Your only option imo is to find another mode of transport (car maybe) or go down the night before and stay in a hotel.

    got my PT for the navy today, but it is the same day as the army. the navy is first thing in the morning and the army is mid day. does anyone know if it would look bad to try and change the day for one of them or to just get on with it and do them as i would be able for it,

    My passport is out of date, will that matter to them? I'll have my drivers license with me too, and I could bring my birth cert if I have to. Just don't have 95quid to spare for a new passport at the moment! Also thanks very much to the OP of this post! Very helpful answers!

    You have to prove citizenship also, I doubt driver's licenses and Garda age cards cover that?!
