A Great Weekend in Dublin

Pickup much appreicated - someone please find me and wake me up! Would love to see the prehistoric Navan Fort if there is any time at all at all if only from the road - I contemplated renting a car just for that purpose but funds won't allow! (nor likely boozing levels)

So looking forward to this, should be a blast

Navan Fort is actually in Armagh or around there, Headstrong, despite the name suggesting otherwise!

If you can get someone to take you there, by all means go for it though!
 
Ah! Think we've been here before... My memory is pants these days I'm afraid :lol:
At least knowing it's so far away will stop me fretting on the way to the races
 
It's a great way of keeping the English out of Ireland. I wish we had thought of it 300 years ago....

I reckon we've got five to pick up: Ark, Headstrong, Betsmate, Flame and Rorydelargy. The first four should land at or before 9 am. I don't know what time Rory's flight arrives.

I just PM'd you guys to get some details, just in case you don't get the PM.

Apologies for the confusion; I've been offered a stint on Cheltenham Radio on the Saturday, so must reluctantly pass up the prospect of a great weekend elsewhere. Hope you guys have a blast.
 
Current Forecast

17 January 2009 05:21

Today
Becoming very windy or stormy today, with gusts to 100 - 120 km/h in exposed areas (and possibly to even higher levels later in the northwest). A dry, bright start for most parts, with just a few isolated showers - then, heavy rain sweeping in from the Atlantic during the morning and afternoon, with clearer showery weather following later. Highest temperatures 7 to 10 C.
Tonight

Severe winds easing later today and early tonight - but remaining fairly windy and blustery overall through the night, and turning a good deal colder too, with widespread heavy or thundery showers - these giving falls of snow on mountains (and possibly locally at lower levels as well). Frost in places, with a risk of icy roads. Lowest temperatures - 1 to + 3 C.

Tomorrow

Very windy again, with severe gusts or squalls in places - and remaining very cold, with further widespread heavy showers, and a continuing risk of snow (mainly on mountains). Highest temperatures 3 to 7 C.

3 Day Outlook

The cold wintry weather will continue over the first half of next week, with no rise in temperatures until after midweek. Rain or showers on Sunday night may turn to snow over more northern counties. Monday and Tuesday will be cold windy days with highest daytime temperatures only around 5 or 6C and frost at night. The wind direction will be westerly and this will blow a lot of showers in off the cold Atlantic. The showers will be very frequent over the west, north and southwest of the country, but the eastern side of Ireland will not be as badly affected by them. And in the low temperatures, the showers will contain a wintry mix with snow on the higher ground and at times too lower down. The showers will largely die out on Wednesday although it will still be a cold day. The second half of next week looks unsettled.
 
I think we've asked Grey to sort enough things out Galileo, that one might be asking a little too much.

There will prob be six to eight Winning Ways members on the day. Should be a decent presentation party after the race!!
 
Tell the winning connections they get a free account on here. Emphasise the free and talk in hushed tones as if it was the key to the city :p
