Tam n pups winter trip 2022

[Northernraider]

Weather forecasts ... Ireland ... two things that don't usually go together that well!

I dunno its been pretty spot on so far , today it said rain till 12 ...it went off at 11.47 , been off since but due to start again around midnight

 

[Northernraider]

Are you booked with Stena or Irish ferries?

I'm on Irish ferries this time .

 

[Lenny HB]

Weather was diabolical this morning sideways rain and wind but thankfully dried up around 12

Sounds better than the South East of England today, it's been diabolical.

I'm on Irish ferries this time .

Slow boat or fast Cat?

Slow boat or fast Cat?

No Idea , 3 hours 15 minute crossing so slow boat I think

Hopefully you'll be on Ulysses, she's the largest cruise ferry in the world and fantastic in all weather's I've been on her in some serious bad seas and she glides along great (think it's to be blowy on Wednesday)

 

[Lenny HB]

Yep, that's the slow one, I don't think they run the Cat in the winter.

 

[Figaro]

Be careful if parking around the docks, there's some seedy characters around, or there was when I was there working in 2011.
+1 for Malahide, no idea about parking though

No Lenny your correct it's too choppy for that wee boat, I think he'll be on Ulysses she goes in all weather's never ever stopped for any storm

Well I've been to decathlon, bought new waterproof boots , cheap but 2 year guarantee and I'll be taking them back if they bugger up. Also got 2 pairs of walking trousers. One that converts to shorts. Optimistic most likely but should dry quicker than jeans if I get soaked.

Off now to check out Malahide

It soon adds up, we was out again yesterday I had a few slips, and said to Janie the treads wearing out, she was chatting to a friend on WhatsApp this morning and she sent some photos, we did the two peaks she said not only new boots he will want new shorts before long. Bob.

Lucky the camera crew was on location to capture the moment.

It's not looking very sunny. Did they not get my memo? I specifically ordered warm and sunny for Spain. I swear if I get a cold rainy winter I will throw myself from calpe rock

 

[bobandjanie]

It's only just got comfortable enough to enjoy the walk. Bob.

On our April/May trip this year we gave up with cold Spain and went back to France for some nice warm weather.
And just spent October in France apparently Hottest October on record.
