Well as the title says.. is there anyone driving Kilkenny/ Waterford direction on Stephens day? There are no trains and I just cant stomach the thought of Bus Eireann!

Hahahahhahah.... There will be plenty of people driving to Kilkenny and Waterford on Stephens Day! :rolleyes:

Yeah Im going. I have no space in the cab of my car. There's some space in the boot though.

Dont worry about safety either as I have rope which will save you in the event of an accident.

Also, I think it would be wise to stay overnight somewhere along the way, Im a slow driver and will be using mainly back roads as the Gardai think my car is too good looking for major roads.

The thread title made it seem like Waterford people have a specific way of driving and we were all invited to partake on Stephens Day...I am disappoint.

From Blanchardstown area.. or anywhere in Dublin really! Luxury bus with bar sounds good...

Ha, first time in 10 years I haven't had to come back to Waterford on St. Stephens Day! So happy.

bernardo mac · 22-12-2010 11:31pm

I'm not going down to that region any more.Passed a speeding pony and trap on the dual carriageway outside Pilltown with a rough lump of a fella with a crew cut at the reins.Also on board a hardy little divil who threw a large white and weighty sack over a river bridge.That was last Sunday afternoon.If you're hitching in the Kilkenny/Waterford area don't chance these lads.You might become discarded scrap.

Sure wasn't drinkin'.Was on Piltown bypass coming from Carrick.The boyos came onto the road rather brazenly,took the driver in front of me by surprise,then manoeuvred back to a flinging position to effect a successful dumping.The Suir to my south',Piltown NE about 2 miles.Gave the open air traveller a wave and a finger wagging as I passed.Know a chap in Piltown who'll give me the local lore.Yer man wasn't the only cowboy on the road in that area last Sunday.
