    Seems interesting enough:
    Youghal is set to be the most exciting location in the country this coming June when the Thundercat European Beach Challenge takes place from the 20th to the 22nd. On water, on land and in the air, the thousands that attend are promised world-class entertainment for the entire family. For the first time ever in Ireland top international Thundercat teams will race right on the shoreline, giving spectators a powerboating experience they can almost reach out and touch. Unusually, for an Irish outdoor event, weather conditions are not an issue - if the weather is great then everyone will enjoy a balmy, yet exciting weekend at the beach in Youghal, but if the weather is in any way inclement then the Thundercat spectacle gets even more exciting. In short, whatever the weather - Youghal is going to be the place to be.

    Bump...

    I'm going to head down to this on Saturday sometime seeing as it's the longest day of the year. I may also pop into Ardmore on the way back if the weather is good to try my hand a few HDR shots.

    Nothing happening today until 8pm and I'm shooting a football match at that time :( It's a damp one this weekend so hoping my cricket match gets called off tomorrow so I can get down and see the racing.

    Ok I went down to this today (Sunday) I took my 40D and a 75-300mm & I felt a little inadequate with all the 300mm, 400mm & what looked like a 500mm lens on Nikon very impressive (it was almost a case of mine is bigger than yours like in the River Rock water ad). The weather was cloudy, windy & dry.

    So here is a sample of my offerings and there's more on flickr.:D C&C is as always welcome. Thank you please be gently & honest.
