    Do people have any particular place they like? Just curious in case I'm missing anywhere. I'm a keen cyclist so I really like the countryside out towards Lough Lene. The area between Castlepollard and Colinstown is really something. Also the valleys around Knock Eyon (?) are beautiful. Theres more to life than shopping centres lads ;)

    Fore is good as is most of the area around Derravaragh. Killare(Uishneach) is also well worth a ramble, though I'd be a bit dubious about travelling the Ballymore road on a bike.

    Fore, definitely, especially the Really Really Big Mountain and the wood that won't burn. That rocks. So what would happen if one took a lighter to it... :D

    Has anyone heard of a mental pub outside Tyrellspass called the Hazel? I think the exact address is Rahugh, but god its a bit of a mad place altogether.....

    Respeck ta the Fore Posse!

    Sorry. Fantastic looking area, strangely Canada-like. Shame about the terrifying, monstrous primary school. Its like the f**king Overlook hotel, looming out of the distance....If you don't mind getting muddy (real muddy...) try the Hill of (I have no idea how to spell it but it sounds like MWeeel) area near Hilltown, close to the Meath border. Also, theres a very sweet little road through the bog across Stonetown bridge which feels much like theres nobody else on earth.
