Hey,
Anyone know where to get a picnic basket? Argos doesnt seem to have them!

Any suggestions appreciated. Need it for this weekend!

picnic basket eh!!! why not just throw load of stuff into a back pack

Why am I getting images of Yogi Bear?

Seriously though, I think you'd have a hard time finding one a this time of the year, but I suppose Dunnes might be worth a shot!

Dunnes...Maybe woodies? Or Homebase?

Romantic evening in mind?

Should you find yourself near an Avoca store, they sell them. I'd say they charge handsomely for them as well though.

Cheers for the suggestions lads - ill try those today. I dont think I even spotted any around the town in general this summer (or winter, whatever we call it now!)

Fajitas!; Ya iv been planning on doing it for ages but iv been so busy. Iv just decide to set a day and turn of the phone!

None in Waterford unfortunately. You'd want your picnic basket pretty badly to make a journey specially, but if you should find yourself in Dublin, there're big ones in Kilmacanogue (on the N11 on the left northbound before Bray, where the speed limits go up and down at random so the Guards can earn a crust), and beside Citywest on the N7 (on the left as you're leaving Dublin). There's also one in Dublin city centre (Suffolk St I think). There might be one in or around Cork as well, basically if there's anyplace large coachloads of tourists can be dropped off to lighten their wallets a bit, there's probably an Avoca store!

Yeah i think its called Aisling...very expensive

Typhoon · 11-09-2007 8:11pm

Or johnstown castle...or hook head

Fajitas! · 11-09-2007 8:40pm

Aye, it is called Aisling, and aye, it is very expensive!

Hookhead can be very miserable

Lismore is lovely on a good day.

Typhoon · 11-09-2007 8:49pm

Hook head...no way man..only when the weather is bad...and in fainess you wouldn't be goin picnicin in bad weather

I've often went to hook when its bad weather...you'l see SERIOUSLY big waves down there

Yeah Lismore would be nice too...you could take in Mellary, the Vee, ballysaggartmore towers, Dromana gate the list is endless

Interesting suggestions lads, ill consider them. I didnt really want to be travelling to far so I was thinking heading out to bunmahon or that direction and sit on the beach.

c - 13 · 12-09-2007 8:48am

Bonmahon is usually crowded, if you go up the hill on the far left of the beach and up the cliffs theres a few nice overcrops to sit on with a nice view of the sea, if its windy though the breeze is terrible up there.

Coumshinaun (sp?) / Kennedy Park / Cappoquinn (Theres some very nice forest walks down that way) would be my choices.

Really turn off the phone?

AdMMM · 12-09-2007 6:50pm

Try routing around your attic or your garage. I'm sure that you'll be able to find one there that parents would only be too glad to share it's story

Fajitas! · 13-09-2007 6:13am

Sully being the end result of said story.

Went to Lismore, nice day for it to. We arrived at the Lismore Gardens but twas to late to stay for long so went off to the park! After that, we took a spin around the town and watched the end of a wedding before driving to the Mahon Falls which were all dried up!!

Twas a great day

thanks for the help and the suggestions, Lismore is a lovely town!
