Ireland XX - Mid Ulster Cavalcade - Saturday, April 25

///M_aniac · Post by **///M_aniac** » Sun 19 Apr, 2009 00:09

Hi guys,

I finally got around to sitting down to plan a route for the 25th and spent most of this evening charging - I mean driving - around the mid Ulster countryside in Mairead's Corrolla. It was such a beautiful day and the countryside looked stunning in the warm, evening sun. If the weather holds the run should be really memorable, on roads many may not have covered before. I so wanted to try and involve new roads in this event.

So some details -

Meet at The Templeton in Templepatrick (car park at the back) at 11.30 for brunch/lunch.

Hit the road 12.45 - 13.00 at latest.

Drive out M2 to Toome, Magherafelt, Moneymore before moving into the heart of mid Ulster viewing the beautiful hills and enjoying the inviting roads around Lough Fea and Glenelly Valley.

Hoping to arrive at the Ulster American Folk Park no later than 15.00 as it closes at 16.30. The park tells the story of emigration from Ulster to America in the 18th & 19th centuries. Admission is £5.40 per adult.

Quick stop for refreshments before heading onto dinner. Venue in Belfast city centre restaurant.

Can all attending please advise asap below, and confirm whether you wish to dine in the evening or not.
Kind regards

Conor

I think I'll be able to go, but, won't be able to confirm for definite until Friday I'm afraid.
