    Any events or anything worth going to see this weekend in the country?

    I'm bored and need a weekend off the beer.

    Can I stay in your house?

    Thanks.

    What age are you? Visit college friends in a different county if they stay over the weekend. Or just grab a couple of mates and go on a road trip, see where it takes you. They often end well!

    Congrats on 8K:cool:
    The OP could go to your house and celebrate the 8K with you.:D

    Haha cheers rb. Yeah I visited there. There is walking going on in Kerry mainly. Which is a possibility, but I don't have the necessary gear.
    NOt much else advertised to be fair.

    It doesn't have to be anything too exciting. I'll happily sit in a corner of a thatched pub exchanging drunken stories with a divorced hairdresser while the local sheep farmer plays an irish dancing tune with just a bucket and his knee. Just something different...

    Myself and the GF did a weekend in Cork before, which worked out really well. Went down and went out for dinner around Pauls Street (afaik) in a place that does really good food, think it used to be a bakery, or at least I saw that you could buy gingerbread men there a few years ago. Quite similar to Luigi Malones.

    Then went out to Fota for the next day, which if you're into that sort of thing and haven't been before, it's a good fun day out.

    Could do something similar to that.

    Or you alternatively you could head up west to Galway, good fun there too, and you might be able to bribe a boardsie to take you surfing/give you a few lessons etc as I hear there's some good spots for it around there.

    Go on a pilgrimage. It's Holy Week.

    If you're into it or are even interested in it, you could hook up with some of the people on the paranormal forum and see if they'd be up for staying in a murder house/haunted castle/etc for a night, that could be fun.

    Apparently you should stay in Dublin then, i read on another Thread that claimed Dublin was the 10th most dangerous city (murder wise) in the world.:rolleyes:

    Nah dont want to be in a city to be fair or around loads of other tourists.
    Pilgrimage is an option because it is something totally different, but being honest I probably won't.
    Not into the paranormal thing.

    I'll probably just end up driving and see where I end up, stay in hostels and chat up the french girls. ;) See the local sights and rub the local dogs. Later discuss the state of the country with the local alcoholics over a friendly Guinness before my afternoon run along the sand swept beach (sand swept?).

    Cheers for the ideas though, all welcome.
