FYI
There are monster truck and buggy guys already bashing in the Curragh.
They are at "The Plains" area.

When are they there? We have been over a few time and haven't seen anyone else.
Where do they bash? The best area is across the road from "Donnelly's Hollow" It's a former Army 4x4 practice area. Massive hills and hollows over an area of a couple of acres.

It's in Co Kildare, between Newbridge and Kildare town. There is a train station in both towns too for those further away.

This pic shows a small bit of the area I'm talking about.

It's not normally that mucky, that's an old pic, the Army don't use it like that anymore. I've used it for some offroading in my 4x4 in the past. But it is a class area for RC's. And the whole curragh is covered in fine short grass, so there is loads of areas for sustained high speed runs.
One place I use is an old military shooting range. It has a hugh earth mound 15ft high as a target backdrop and a big channel about 4ft deep all around. If you climb up on the mound you can race all around it flat out.

I'm telling you lads, the place is perfect for us...

Plug · 30-06-2006 11:29AM

I wouldn't have any problem going there, but what date would suit everyone, I think the bank holiday weekend in Augeust sounds good:) I,ll have to get a engine mount first tho:(

BFassassin · 30-06-2006 11:45AM

i like the sound of all this but im not sure if i would be able to get to it:( .
you never know though things might change before it happens

Plug · 30-06-2006 11:48AM

How many people could actually make it? I have no problem, tho pretty pointless if only a few people are going.

EIRE-MAXX · 30-06-2006 11:48AM

Plug · 30-06-2006 12:02PM

Well we were hoping for most of the lads and girls on this forum to meet up somewhere, I think now the best venue sounds like the curragh:) How are you fixed for there?

Cmar-Ireland · 30-06-2006 12:22PM

Well count me and my brother in, (stephenmarr on here)

g5hn710m4xpdwy · 30-06-2006 12:37PM

Plug · 30-06-2006 01:38PM

Me and Goldwing could get a lift off my father.

EIRE-MAXX · 30-06-2006 04:56PM

tallus · 30-06-2006 08:56PM

vectra · 30-06-2006 09:02PM

I would need a wheelchair if I drove that far in one day

Plug · 30-06-2006 10:20PM
