All The Way Round 2011 - 3 days, 50 towns, 1300km

All The Way Round 2011



As some of you may know last year 13 people from Boards.ie took on the challenge of driving around the country north and south in 3 days over the August bank holiday weekend in aid of Barretstown camp for children who suffer from cancer.

The idea was born out of a few motor heads wanting to do something positive and it is entirely planned and organised by just a few guys from boards.ie.

Last year 13 people from Boards.ie set out on a Saturday morning and in the following 3 days covered over 1300km going from Dublin to Derry, Derry to Killarney, Killarney to Dublin. It involved 3 long days of hard driving but it was for a great great cause.

Last year those 13 people managed to raise almost €7000 for Barretstown, including almost €1000 donated online from the good people on here.

A sincere thank you must be paid to everyone who took part last year, it was a great group of people who despite the long days driving had good fun and banter all the way through. Without them it never would have been as successful.

This year were planning on doing it all again, this time on the June bank holiday weekend and we hope to make it just as successful as last year.
We already have 19 people singed up this year but we still have 6 places left to fill if anybody is interested in joining us this year.

The details of this year are:

Date: June 4th 8:30 am - June 6th finish time
Route: Dublin to Donegal town to Limerick and back to Dublin [More Route Info]
Cost: €150 - this covers accommodation costs and entry into the event [Deposit payment info]

So if your interested in getting out and seeing the country, meeting some of your fellow motors posters and taking on the challenge of All The Way Round get your name down

Last year we had everything from Taxi's to an Integra Type R to a Toyota IQ so the more diverse cars we get the better!

We also have a dyno day where myself, Onkle and Quazzie will be getting our legs waxed if we get €600 pledged for the waxing. More info - [Here]

Also if you cant make the trip you can help us along by donating online though our myCharity page which you can find - [Here] -

We received almost €1000 in online donations from Boards last year and we cant thank everyone enough, we would be eternally grateful for anything you can donate, as much or as little as you like, it all helps a great cause.

Here's some pics from last year for memories and to give entrants something to look forward to:









Anybody got any questions or anything post away....

Let me know as well as I want to pay my pledge.

Atomic Pineapple

We've decided that people can place their pledges directly to the charity as we have most of the costs of the event covered.

You can donate online here:

Thanks again to everyone who donate and attended the day in support.

Good work

Crap, I could have paid you when I was up there but didn't think about it. I'll pay you guys when you're in Cork, or give it to EPM next week. One of the two.
