It’s no Liffey Valley. That’s for sure.

Worked it out one day and figured out I’ve never even been through it. Plan to rectify that.

As TFK’s Mitchelstown expert there isn’t really a lot to do there, you could use it as a base to visit other places but what’s the point of that.

You’ll find the Killyhevlin hotel the finest. There’s a big water park thingy on the shores of Lough Erne, plenty of restaurants in Enniskillen which is a fine busy town. Bring or rent/borrow a fishing rod if you want some solitude.
Keep your eye peeled for Peter Daragh Quinn who’s still “sought” in this jurisdiction.

Half an hour or so

Mrs is at work til 2. Picking her up and hitting the road to glorious North Tipperary for a few days and then LK city. Just heading down home any chance we get this summer after the last year so don’t think we will squeeze in a few night elsewhere this summer.

Seems mad. It borders with Donegal, Leitrim, Tyrone, Monaghan and Cavan.

Fermanagh people are salt of the earth.

Enniskillen a fine town, lovely part of Ireland around there. Border roads are mad, you are over one before you know it, and a red phone box there just to let you know your place.

Number 1. Guided Walking Tour in Kilkenny

Sure why would anybody ever want to go abroad again.

I had one of the nicest Carvery dinners of all time in the Firgrove Hotel in Mitchelstown on the way back from Tipp v Clare in the All Ireland Quarter Final 2017.

Then a wonderful 99 in Tipp Town to round off a great day.

The rock n roll museum

I take it a 99 means a fight in this instance.

It’s when you have a flake off your cousin

peddlerscross · June 25, 2021, 5:01pm

No you’d be wrong there.

TheUlteriorMotive · June 25, 2021, 5:53pm

Those awards are a cod.

PhattPike · June 25, 2021, 8:04pm

The aptly-named Blue Ocean restaurant does a lovely crispy chicken. A firm favourite of @Batigol and myself.

€7.50 for a glass of wine in an Droichead Beag last night. If you were insane enough to get a cocktail it was €12.50.
They’ve a fine job made of the back in fairness to them.
Slightly busier last night than midweek nights but we’d no hassle getting a table in a few places.

Outdoor drinking is an absolute cod. Grand for an hour or early in the day but unless you are sitting under a heater you are going to end up cold. I saw a few drinking in their dry robes last night. Not a bad idea to be fair. Great to be out and about in a crowd that said

The yerras are very worried. Bookings for the rest of the summer are way down on last year even. Houses renting well, hotels doing okay, but b&bs which Dingle is crawling with, are being wiped out. No one wants to stay in them I’m told. For someone who isn’t fussed a b&b stay might be cheap option for the summer in Ireland
