Rally Ireland 2009

Truck

Hi all,
Does anyone know if theirs any accomodation still available in Sligo for the 29th- 31st of Jan for Rally Ireland. Ive looked a few places and everywhere so far is full. Should have really looked earlier.
Thanks

My advice is try somewhere outside of Sligo and on or near the rally route. We've got a house sorted in Drumshanbo.

Better again, hire a camper & move between stages recce & pick the best locations the night before & put your feet up, cook breakfast & let the action come to you!

Understandable. Am hoping that my comfy bed will be situated in a suite of the Clarion again this year...

Then rent a transit, stick the bed, duvet an all, in the back and you're set! A friend of mine does that! Think of how cheap it would be to rent a van instead of a house for the weekend

True, but overcoming hypothermia can be hard/expensive

Thanks but I think I'll stick to http://www.rallyireland.org for the info that I need. We don't need to know about the curse of cruises!

Somehow 8 of us might be a squeeze in a Transit!

Hi
I was thinking of catching some stage in my camper van with my son.
Has anybody any experience of this and how do I go about planning to be in the right places overnight.
Any advice appreciated

Most of the people I know who did this last year basically drove the stages the eve before & hand-picked best junction, corner or internal spot on the stage (obviously with ample camper parking nearby).

Only difficulty is that there is t he possibility that you may have to remain at that point until the road is officially reopened following the days rallying.

Having said that they did see a lot of action & helped clear many a crashed competitor & even made the odd but well received bacon sandwich for the retirees.

I believe that Irish Farmhouse Holidays have opened up some of their B&Bs especially for this Rally.

My brother has just booked. Details at
