If you are going to easkey, get in a car because it's bloody akward trying to pick people up from various spots around sligo. Bring a tent or at least bring a sleeping bag. Rain gear and wellies or manly shorts and bare feet. I haven't made it to easkey for the last two years, first time was the fact I was moving away from dublin and last year I just couldn't turn down a weekend away in kinsale in a four star hotel.
If you search the website you will find a few posts on easkey, it is a beautiful piece of countryside and we should try and leave it as we found it or better yet cleaner.
A few years ago Allio brought a trailer and we did a big cleanup on both the sunday and the monday, hell we even cleaned the toilet block. I still have nightmares about the girls toilet <shudder>

Easkey is savage! Last year was probably the best surf I've ever been on. It's such a good weekend. If it's looking rainy the Easkey I've heard is a good river but you'd want to find someone who knows it.

Yeah, it improves the weekend for everyone if ye bring some cleaner and just clean the toilets at the beginning. And a saw or axe could come in handy for wood. Beach combing is fun and it's advisable to have wood gathered before you light the fire - difficult to find in the dark.

And if you haven't been there before don't go inside the castle till after dark! More fun that way.
