    I love it, now it's not proper Thai kick boxing or anything but it's lots of kicking :)

    I really real didn't want to go so I'm really glad I did.

    Its a very energetic sport, but great for fitness and toning up. Well worth it and much better than going to a gym and spending time on a threadmill or bike as it really holds your interest :)

    See the bike is my interest and fitness. I do the kick boxing to increase muscle and bone density... I don't like gyms at all!

    yeap. not somewhere you'd usually fly to though. the company that operates a ferry also do a shuttle bus from galway town.

    Stupidusername - Aran Islands is beautiful. Not the most lively of places, but really nice to relax for a few days.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,404 ✭✭✭✭Pembily


    SUN the Aran Islands are really nice and tend to have decent weather :)

    Morning all!

    Maybe... :o

    but na, the towpath was mainly made up of mud and rocks and the odd bit of gravel if I was lucky.

    Will try the road on the way home.

    Frankfurt is expensive once you get there. Not a place to go on a limited budget.

    Eindhoven, well 42 pubs on one street thats about half the length of Grafton st.. Kinda says it all really! :D

    If you want cheap n cheerful sun and are willing to stay in small hotels/hostels.. Greek island hopping is the way to go.. :)

    morning all..

    Drav, can you kindly keep the "pounding yer arse" talk outta here please until I finish my breakfast.. I'm eating fookin nutella on toast ffs :mad: :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,404 ✭✭✭✭Pembily


    Gah I forgot my lunch :( :mad:

    Roads are defo a smoother ride but you have to deal with traffic!

    BW you can say what ever :p

    There's a handful of B&B's out there and they're not overly pricey, depends on when you go really. Inis Mór is the biggest one and has the most to see, Dún Aengus is particularly beautiful. It's well worth a trip if you want a weekend away doing nothing and taking in scenery.

    Plus it has a Supermacs for feck sake! What more could you want! :pac:
