More observant than snarly dude. You’ve had a cut off me on a few threads now for no apparent reason. You’re normally a level headed and reserved character so I’m worried something bad has happened you to prompt this outburst. Hope all is ok mate.
your indecisivness about what route you are taking to lahinch has been bothering me for a few weeks now mate- the post today i admit has unsettled me- instead of letting this simmer any longer i decided to step up to the plate & assist you
A safety announcement - The N67 is no road for anybody wanting to travel quickly. Please disregard NCC’s advice and travel the safer and wider N18 and N85 route via Ennis instead. Thank you.
i assume you will be leaving from dublin, if you find it easier to get to the red cow roundabout travel via limerick if your closer to the galway n4 road use that route, there isn’t much difference timewise.
approaching ennis from either galway or limerick take the ennis/kilrush/ennistimon exit off the M18
follow the signposts for ennistimon and from there on to lahinch/lehinch
let me know what weekend your there and meself and a few of other clare posters will come welcome you to clare, don’t wear sunglasses a pink shirt or a scarf
That is some waste of time and fuel, take the exit for Loughrae , follow the signs for Gort, from Gort go to Corofin on to Kilfenora and into Ennistymon and onto Lehinch.
Tipps and options, from Gort you can drive to Ennis and back out to Lehinch, to avoid the bottle neck in Ennistymon take the second right turn after the fork in the road from Kifenora and keep going it brings you our the Liscannor side of the Golf course, (just past the kerry co op) mind yourself in Ennistymon and the Claremont is a must see, you can also cut across to Ennistymon direct from corofin but I’m fucked if I’m going explaining that now.
Yeah stay on the Galway road. Limerick is a shithole and to be avoided. be careful on the Galway motorway though - cunts havent it signposted very well - there is a turn off for galway near Mullingar - the other motorway M8? continues to Sligo or somewhere. I missed it the time I drove. Ended up driving on a bad road from Mullingar to Athlone until I go back on the motorway again.
Things to do in West Clare:
1 - have a load of pints in Cooney in Quilty. A lovely welcoming spot and friendly locals. They might educate ye in the ways of football. Tell them KIB man sent you. For a quality bite to eat, chance The Leon next door for some Atlantic cod and curry chips.
2 - head out to Seafield from Quilty - again lovely drive out to the beautiful Seafield. Stand on the pier and look out to Mutton Island. it is one of Ireland’s greatest views. En route pass out the magnificent church where Andrea Corr wished to have her wedding before opting for the bigger venue of nearby Miltown.
3 - Spanish Point - the Spanish Armada crashed ashore here many moons ago - sample the delights of fine cuisine at the aptly named Armada Hotel with amazing views of the bay
4 - The Coast - lash it into the some young one at one of West Clare’s many bussling nightclubs. A couple of pints at Frawleys, a look for some surfer chicks at O’Looneys and the obligatory blow job on the golf course.
Such contrasting fortunes. He set up two threads to have a pop at you. One turned out to be the greatest thread in the history of the internet and this one turned into a huge flop.
