    Silly question..but if you are Letterkenny where is the North East?


    Would somewhere like Grianan be a good place to view them?

    Yep a great place to view away from the town lights - they say lying on your back is the best way:confused: Not in Letterkenny btw but come from near there originally(now in Scotland)!

    The road from the hospital up to the mountain top is going in a North East direction - well it would be a little bit closer to a North direction than a North east but that will get you looking in the general direction anyhow :)
