Veggie meet up goes WEST

smegmar

so to get the ball rolling I'm making the thread. I'm sure someone will fill in the minor details like when and where exactly we're going but we're all heading off to Clare/Galway for more of what happened last weekend*.


*the magic 8 ball said we had to. seriously it did ask electro or raah

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Sep 11th-13th

Can't argue with the eight ball, everyone's just going to have to suck it up and do it

Yeah so I'll know in a couple of days which weekend(s) are possibilities, I asked my mam there but she just went "what? hang on...what?" for a while so I think I'll have to explain it to her a few more times, bless her. Are we thinking in the next couple weeks kind of time frame or ASAP or what?

smegmar

Sep 18th-20th

it's whenever whenever, I think it's more when people are available.
are we camping on the beach or in your house?

Tar can you get a poll up when we know what dates are possible

Sep 18th-20th

*cough* ASAP PLEEEASE *cough*

Leaving my evil work place of evilness on Thursday, so would love to flee up the country for fun

Ha, this thread was prompt to arrive!
I'm offering dinner and dancing to anyone who shows up in Galway.
And geocaching if someone has a car, don't know if any of ye have ever done it, tis fun...
I'm free whenever, unless I somehow get a job between now and then...
Just to warn you though, there's been some pretty evil rain in the west of late! Well, in the past week I've been back anyway

I can never explain it without people looking at me like I'm a crazy person so... this should explain it

You basically look for hidden boxes using a GPS. It's fun!
We hid this one amongst others....

Just an idea.

Where in Clare are ye planning on camping? There's some great beaches, like fanore and bishops quarter and such, and Ballyvaughan is nice.

If it's one day in Clare and one day in Galway I'll be happy to devise something to occupy ye while ye're here, just tell me when

Geocaching sounds cool, should be plenty to find especially if smegmar's gps stops telling us we are in mallow all the time:P

So it is orienteering for nerds, I love goping orienteering, so that sounds really cool, would love to do it!


Package better be in mallow or im not on smegmars team...

Sep 11th-13th

But wouldnt having a gps take all the fun out it?
Or are they all as crappy as Smegs?

Whoever hides the cache posts the co-ordinates on the website, other cachers punch them into their GPS's and off they go

We have a pretty reliable handheld GPS so if anyone wants to join team donniescribbles (temporarily or otherwise!) they can feel free!

Anyway, there's a few caches out in Clare that my sister and her boyfriend failed to get yesterday so if we're out that direction I might nab a few anyway...

Sapsorrow

If anyone fancies camping in Corofin we've a savage place up on a hill we 'vealways have our parties on since we were in school (the land belongs to my mates cool mum) and it has amazing panoramic views of the lakes/woods, a caravan, fire pit and wooden cabin with a stove in it, I'm sure they wouldn't mind one more party up there on the list.

smegmar

Sep 18th-20th

from experience I can say Khrystyna throws the best parties EVAR!!

can't see any reason not to go.

2 pages and we still don't know where or when this is on, but the idea is nice

raah!

Sep 11th-13th

All of this thread sounds good to me. Hopefully we can fit it all in before the summer ends.

At least it wasn't like that one two years ago where it rained for 45 day straight. I've only been to the beach twice though!

Tar.Aldarion

Sep 11th-13th

Ever?!!! we gonna have to build sandcastles with the babby.

raah!

Sep 11th-13th

Cripes, I was a year younger than the next youngest person!

And yes, obviously from the context there, I meant ever :P

Tar.Aldarion

Sep 11th-13th

Ever!? lol...


camping on teh beach is cool, beach fires and secluded dunes!

smegmar

Sep 18th-20th

beach party all sounds awesome, but remember don't set up camp somewhere below the high tide line.. I learned that the hard way as my sleeping bag slowly filled with sandy water

Tar.Aldarion

beach noob, so not from a beach area eh.

Love digging holes to get into and burying myself hehe

I think we need to examine our options....
- camping in Corofin
- camping in/near Ballyvaughan
- a wee night out in Galway city

We can scrap the latter if there is promise of dancing at either of the formers. I can get myself to either of these places quite easily and possibly for free, yay...

I'd assume it'd be a weekend? Perhaps the dates for consideration could be the weekend of:
September 4th,
September 18th or
September 25th.

Nobody should come to this side of the country once October sets in! Brrrr...

Maybe smegmar or Tar could put a poll on this please
Enough of this vagueness!
In a demanding mood, sorry, I'm just bored...

Do you know, the last actual good summer I remember was 1995. But it was a cracker! Little six year old me running around not knowing I'd never get another good summer for at least another 15 years

Wouldn't mind an aul mad dance in cuba tbh, after a trip to teh market and a lot fo drinking! Will see what people want as regards location etc on the thread and I'll stick up those three weekends in a poll in a bit, jsut a bit busy, so in an hour or two!

No rush, it's fine!
Cuba is experiencing a revival of late, strange but true. They're having a price war with Keneddy's and the result is lots of drunk people still with money in their pocket...
I was persuaded to go there the night I got back, it was actually, surprisingly, quite fun (considering I don't think I've had fun there since I was in first year of college...)
And everyone in Galway goes out on a tueday now I dunno...
Anyway... back to the matter at hand...

Tar.Aldarion

Sep 11th-13th

Yeah I'll put one up now, saw penduluma t cuba not so long ago, best night eva. Strange how the drinking night changes in galway over the years. I'd be awaiting official confirmation every year of what night I was supposed to drink in college, well the main night.

Tar.Aldarion

Sep 11th-13th

Ok it's up, it's multiple choice, why is a weekend missing from suggestions, was somebody busy? I forget

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Sep 11th-13th

Well isn't the last one out coz Master of Nothing is doing a marathon? Not sure about the missing one, maybe it's just not on this year

Tar.Aldarion

Sep 11th-13th

Everybody is voting for my girly laugh! I'll take that as you can do any weekend. I'll add in the missing one too and we can then see which is most popular I suppose.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Sep 11th-13th

Actually I definitely can't do 25th either because of Freshers' week

Tar.Aldarion

Sep 11th-13th

well it seems taram can only do the first two and then is off to england to live, how about one of those maybe?

DonnieScribbles

Sep 11th-13th

Ha, yeah I missed a weekend in my post, don't mind me, I'm sleep deprived.
My actual vote would be the 11th... I request a poll and then don't even vote properly....tsk tsk
Anyway, I'm off on an arduous journey, talk to ye tomorrow maybe
Slán.

Sapsorrow

Sh*t Tar I voted wrong can u change mine to the weekend of the 18th? Actually it's the only one i can do! I love Ballyvaughan that'd be good, mind you corofin would be likely to turn into a full blown rave if my buddies have anythin to do with it!

I myself can only do weekend of 11th or 18th, hopefully it'll be on either of those:D

smegmar

Sep 18th-20th

I voted for the 4-6th but I'm really open to all those days. I might be off to America soon but I don't know how soon, so earlier is better for me. Just try get as many people as possible and especially those that missed out on Cork.

I changed the numbers around, 1 less for 11th, one more for 18th, but can't change your name. 11th or 18th seem the most popular.

Sep 11th-13th

If it is on the 11th....I will have to duck out to go to Ladies beers.
But I'm sure you'll find ways to entertain yourselves in my absence. :eek:

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Sep 11th-13th

Okay, the mammy and daddy bitch said both those weekends (11th and 18th) are grand, but the 18th suits better. The garden's plenty big for a few tents and a bonfire, and my dad has kindly volunteered his studio for floor space if the weather is awful. Little quiet beach 5 minutes away, bigger beaches about ten minutes drive in either side. There's also the Cliffs of Moher which are about a forty minute drive from my house, and the Ailwee Caves about twenty. It's also in the middle of the burren, so the Dubs should have plenty to ooh and aah about

Edit: Daddy bitch is leaning over my shoulder telling me to stop underselling the burren. So, long walks on the beach to gather driftwood for a bonfire (and, I quote daddy bitch here; "Let's make a MASSIVE bonfire"), mountain walks, traditional Irish pubs, limestone pavements, rare flora and of course THE MOTHERLOVING MATCHMAKING FESTIVAL http://www.myguideireland.com/irish-match-making-festival are all things people could avail of if they so chose.

smegmar

Sep 18th-20th

it just gets better and better, as I said I might be way but the 18th sounds like a good day.

electro can we have pics of your place so we know what we're in for. Or at least we can compare with Donnie scribbles place

Tar.Aldarion

Sep 11th-13th

Wow, he sells it well, love bonfires!

omg lol at the matchmaking festival, every time you have mentioned it to me I thought it was about matchsticks! Now I click the link, time for the farmers to find wives is it.


Well we could go to galway for a night and head to clare smeg?

Dunno...

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Sep 11th-13th

Lol wut? you just thought I really liked matchsticks or what? I'll try get some pics up tomorrow, Mr Sister is a savage photographer so I'll get him to take them :pac:

raah!

Sep 11th-13th

Yes yes, there is no reason we can't do both. Especially after the effort taken to organise. I never say yes yes in real life you know, it doesn't even make sense. Mmmm, well burren and the cliffs of moher sounds really fantaaastic it ok if I bring a friend maybe? Actually I changed my mind there.

Tar.Aldarion

Sep 11th-13th

Yep thought you were mad about matches lol. I imagined some sort of thing where peop-el make things out of matches! Do you go to this meet often?
Probably imagined it because I was watching lego videos beforehand
