Where is your spot?

That you go when you want to get away for a few hours from life/people, what do you do?

If it's naturey/natural, throw up the coordinates.

I always found a cool bathroom (toilet) a grand way to relax and think for 10 mins

Bed.

I've never consciously had to go anywhere or to get away from people or life but I always find the countryside refreshing and tranquil.

Home when it’s time to get away from work and work when it’s time to get away from home.

Like a real man.

The top of Torc Mountain, Killarney. Stunning views of the lakes in front of you and Mangerton and the McGillicuddy reeks behind you.

Can be climbed in about 30 minutes, flask of tea and a sambo and just sit at the top until I feel sufficiently chilled out to hesd back down.

Sounds like a real boring man, but I suppose it would depend on what you work as!

Or what I do at home

The stables where I work, has this huge forest behind their property. So I usually saddle up one of the horses and mosey on into the woods. Just me, my horse, and silence. It's great therapy!

The beach, though I also love marinas.

A guy called 'Norm!' once recommended this:

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows, Your name.

I love to go for a walk in the woods near me, but some fooker from a nearby stables keeps riding horses through the place.

My bedroom definitely. There's a nice park near me with a lake but when I go there there's always some stupid pr*ck who sits near me. At least with my bedroom it's the only place in the world that nobody is allowed enter

Somewhere I can have my nine bean-rows.

The beach....just pull up in the car, get out and walk or sit in the car with the window down and think and listen......even better if there's a small drizzle of rain ......bliss.

Golf Course

If I lived closer to the beach it would be that for sure

Your Face

In my shed, either at the weights or in front of my Marshall.

Foweva Awone

I look for the nearest library when I need to ground myself. I love how they smell the same, no matter where in the country you are.

If I did that the place would be full of Boardsies :eek: No chance!

I don't have one where I live now, never really thought about it. As a teenager when I wanted a little space, I'd walk down to the end of town to the Martello Tower by the River Shannon. I loved it there because it was so peaceful and tranquil.

But would you meet others up there ?
My dad has a place in Wexford, I used to go for a walk on the beach ... near Blackwater .... 10 minutes either direction and you were totally alone, the odd seal would pop his head up to give you a curious gawk!! - pure bliss!!!

debok

Coumshinaun in the comeraghs. Nice 30 minute or less walk up to it small climb. Just sit at the lake then pure silence. Bit busier this year than usual. Winter is bliss though fair weather people no where in sight

Nice Places away from "The Herd"

Yer Da sells Avon

The east pier in Dún Laoghaire
Coliemore Harbour in Dalkey
Lough Tay in the Wicklow Mountains

PsychoPete

Anywhere there isn't other humans

I can only do it during the summer when I’m staying in my mobile, but 8 minutes of solid paddling due west in the kayak will bring me far enough into the Atlantic that you can’t hear a thing from the shore. Sit there, drift, nothing but the waves and the wind. And a dolphin if you’re lucky.

Any other time, it’s behind my guitar. Seriously thinking of leaving one on the rec room in work so I can get a few minutes head space during the day.

Never managed to combine the kayaking and the guitar. I don’t have a lead long enough to plug it into my amp from way out in the Atlantic.

Schindlers Pissed

I like to sit on the harbour wall in Dunmore East, Co. Waterford and just listen to the sea and look across at Hook Lighthouse.

Yeah dude, it’s so great to kayak away from any noise other people are making, I’m sure your guitar in the rec room at work will be a big hit. Mmmmm wish I worked there.

Don’t worry your little head, I work for the Irish Deaf Society.

There's a beautiful beach down the road from me that isn't well known and most of the time, most of the year it's completely empty. I take the dogs there and it's Bliss!

Rufeo

Insomnia beside Jervis centre.

It's a relaxing spot even though the Luas is always going by.

I live in D4 but I always like to go to that one.

Scarinae

I like to go for a swim, I get some great thinking done while I'm swimming and it is great exercise at the same time

Down home, the house is beside Lough Derg. Get in the kayak and go down to Mota "Quay", basically just a fishing stand situated in a small bay, almost totally remote except for the occasional visitors across the lake in Coolbawn, or passers-by in a boat. It's a beautiful little spot, deep in the countryside -- public land, but almost nobody knows about it because it's so secluded.

Often camped there as a kid, drove many a date down there on a summer's night, good vibes from that place. Not to be grim but if I'm cremated that's where my ashes are going.

Relikk

Killiney Hill, overlooking Dublin Bay. Usually on a summer's evening watching the sunset.

Force Carrier

Tell me how

Cycling.
Great place for allowing thoughts to rattle around your head until they fall in to place.
Lovely way to experience nature as well.

I normally just put in my headphones and get down to some beats;

Dissociation.

So - I pretty much have my headphones in always.

Rubberlegs

The Doneraile in Tramore or Hook Lighthouse, two of my favourite places.
