Pre European Tour Trip to Cork

[RedStarTorphins]

Well,....looks like it`s just me then ? ( Although I`m sure there`ll be a few more once I get there ? )

Usual Crew are falling out left,right and centre. Work, no time off, spent up for the month. all valid excuses .

So I`ve dug one of my old bikes out the shed, fired her up, mot`d and taxed her. Booked the Holyhead to Dublin Ferries. £105 return. Hardest part has been Hotels. OK, I could probably take a tent , but even shared dormitary Hostels are £40 upwards. Hotels are starting at £100 a night. What is this place ??!!! Monaco ? Guess I`ll find out.

Spottede my home from home. Fred Zepplins pub. on Parliament Street. I mean , how nae ? With a name like that !!

Finally settled on the Travel lodge at Airport. 1.8 miles from Centre. So at worst I can walk back from Town.

Been scoping out the bus routes to Cobh. two possiblilties, direct from outside Cork Kent railway station 24 mins. Or down to PassageWest ferry. 5 min crossing and anther bus around Cobh. May do that on way out , pre drinking.

Now lets see about bars near the ground.............. COYR

Sons of Anarchy comes to Cobh 😀

Trains from Cork Kent to Cobh every hour at xx:00, takes 24 minutes, €5 return fare.

Return trains from Cobh every hour at xx:30.

I will probably be going to this game.
