    Just saw this and it's nearly out of time so this weekend would be good -

    D James Galbraith's Ireland 1970 - 1997
    National Photographic Archive: 7 March - 2 June 2009.

    Further details here

    I haven't been so this isn't a recommendation to go but just an advisory that it's on.

    To be honest I didn't even know that we had a national photographic archive though had often thought did we - wooo hooo, One to keep an eye out for in the future.

    Anyone been already?

    Your welcome Tallon. It advertises that the park closes @ the end of Aug.

    But it was all self service, even the shop!!!

    At the end of the trail, (which took us over an hour & a half) there was a barn, which was like a make shift photo gallery full of shots from India showing the sculptors being carved from enormous pieces of rock taken from the mountains.

    The small shop next door is worth a look....Never seen anything like it ..
    Check it out...

    20th - 26th September. Some pilots may arrive a day or two earlier and decide to fly, and a day or two after aswell, but the scheduled championships flights will be from 20th - 26th.

    It was a great event last year fingers crossed there'll be great weather this year
