to kerry or not to kerry?
Tr Ash:
was also suggested to me that, we find a similar location that does rent out houses at say 500-600e and go to the landlord/landladies in the area and say that if they can match those prices then we'll stick with rossbeigh if not we'll go to the place with the cheaper prices
though leenane is a place i'd love to go to, that area is so beautiful!! and only two pubs there, right beside eachother, in the middle of nowhere, perfect! :) with the bundorragha for newbies, lakes, erriff river.....im sure there's other in the area but those just came to mind there......also the beach is a bit of a drive away but still pretty close.....if i'm trying to avoid study i'll do a bit of looking around for houses in the leenane area to rent during that time and probable prices for there......just as an idea
also, not sure if eoghans' uncle is still running delphi....but i could be mistaken on this....but still, would be pretty class for all of us to stay together in the one centre!
i would like to stay in rossbeigh but definitely will ask for cheaper electricity, warm hose and cheaper overall cost. if not, i'd be happy with going elsewhere
*edit to remove name!* TRASH!!!!!
Diarmaid:
this discussion of rossbeigh seems very much centred on the ice boxes. this year there were a disproportionate number of them booked out to us (I think 6 total? 2 DUKC / 2 UCDCC / 1 Maynooth / 1 UCDCCDC?). In previous years, people have been in other houses, equally near the ross, where electricity has been free and rent has been more reasonable. are these no longer available? are they under the same ownership? what's the story?
Tr Ash:
the other houses seem extremely hard to find contact details for and dont seem to be on the web.....does she have a monoploly on that too???
i'd like to stay in some of the others houses if people could suggest which ones are free.....cause i always thought the oldies of UCD booked these houses up pronto before any of the rest of the clubs had a chance to even find them......
found houses in lahinch for just under 500e for the exact same time of year!! couse use these as ammo! :P
....and oops about saying her name! sorry!
Diarmaid:
well two years ago we just wandered into the ross, had a word in mick's ear and got the nicest house in Rossbeigh. that could be the way forward.
how about we don't book anything, put the fear of god into them, and then just show up on the day? :P
Canuala:
ah lads....i know a lot of people skipped Kerry this year because it was a bit too difficult to deal with, and i am not saying this was right or wrong, but the truth is Kerry will always be fraught with mixed emotions, so maybe changing the location might be a good idea for some...but anyhoo, thats something thats personal and I'm not trying to influence anyone either way...
what i really want to address is that you all seem to be forgetting that the North of Ireland exists??? A helooo??? Drink is cheaper, accomadation is cheaper, and they're really quite used to wild shanningans up there, plus from what I understand there are quite a few rivers to run. I think Davy B has run a few thingys up there and I'm sure the veterans of the paddling world have ventured there, I mean they get as far as Uganda and Chile, and the north is only 2 hours from Dublin, no comparison really...
....and on the whole driving note, thanks to the new roads being built now it is literally 2 hours from Belfast to Dublin in the car...much closer than Kerry no???
Well theres my 2 cents worth, I know the north is a contentious subject for you softy southerners, what with your feelings of guilt for selling out on us and abandoning us to the Brits, but maybe its time to overcome this fear?? ;) and no its not dangerous to wear orange canoe club hoodies (which was Dee and Dave's theory)...they will not think you're orangies and pull out their machine guns....apparently they're all gone now, what with disarmament and all anyhow
