Somewhere near Kilmore Quay?

vedwards

Nope Judgement Day...a little further inland rather than right on the coast. Wexford county has over 115km of coastline you know fact! This area (at least for me from my earliest memories) is synonymous with trips on 'the way' to a popular beach in the Sunny South East!

Bearhunter

It's not on the Blackwater side of the Ballagh is it?

vedwards

Eeerm :rolleyes: Nope! As you can see from the photo the cottage really stands out in its clean white and shocking red colours and yet how many of us pass this on our way to one of Wexford most popular holiday beach resorts.
I'll give it away with this clue (Leo Carthy RIP) and you'll admit that you've never seen it but next time keep an eye out

Not very fair patff, unless your a Pilot or Sat Spy with MI5 or CIA.
Maybe the Farmer will recognise his own field.

Is it the Ducks foot field beside Donald's house 1 mile from Ducktown :D:

Mahatma coat

one of the Teagasc Fields at ohnstown Castle???????

Is the outline of a strip at the bottom of the curved field one of those private air-strips? If so, I know of two, one just outside Gorey and the other at Ardinagh near Taghmon. I'd guess the latter.

Reminds me of the time I was shopping in Wallace's of Wellingtonbridge and this fella came up to me and asked me where the airshow was. I nearly dropped my bottles of Mick's Chianti in surprise!

Ardinagh and Wellybogs eh, draw a straight line between both and continue it in one direction. You won't be far off............

Thanks, Patff. Thought I had something good for my CV there for a while. Have dusted down my map of South Wexford and have my perspex ruler so I can see what I'm doing.....

OK, west of W.Bridge brings me to the coast south of Duncannon doesn't look like that countryside.

Missent

East of Ardinagh brings me north of Forth Mountain, then across the Slaney estuary at about Castlebridge and finally I hit the coast just south of Blackwater. On the airstrip theme, wasn't there something like that once just north of Castlebridge with a road round there called Old Airport Road or something?

I'll go for somewhere round Castlebridge as the land in the photo looks pretty flat and once you head north of there, it's pretty flat too.

This is wreckin me head, Turns out that the bit in Google Earth around Wellington Bridge to Ardinagh is one of the few bits of Wexford not in High Res

I'm fair sure that its somewhere off the road between the Coach house and Taghmon, but I'll be buggered if I can find it.

On a side note tho Woot, Bannow is finaly on Google 'Street' view, theres a fair unflatterin shot of Me Gradnad doin the gardenin

I reckon to much Poitin or Magic mushrooms when the boundaries were marked out a long time ago. Or maybe Godzilla passed by.
