[freebbob]

add me as a defo,

[jonnygearbox]

the cost of hotels are about 120 for all of them for the week we are going
plus the ferry about 250 plus fuel and food. which would be another £200

[jonnygearbox]

Ill will have itinerarys made up for people where to go out best places to eat etc etc. what we are doing for example guiness factory etc...

i will be going along to the local sign shop for him to get a batch made up for people.
In the itinerarys there will be two bigger sized ones for the side windows for when we are doing the tour, route planners if people get lost, contact numbers for the hotels if you get lost, contact number for me also when we get off the boat these will be giving to everyone,They will also have the times we will leave each day etc etc .

[freebbob]

also we should be able to get more than 1 person to a room so depending on whether you are bringing someone else we could share rooms

[jonnygearbox]

yeah we will split rooms 3 ways or 2 ways depending whos coming with you

[jonnygearbox]

Here is the map with the route!

[jonnygearbox]

List Updated With Names :D

[jonnygearbox]

I found out something that will help alot of members....YOU DONT NEED A PASSPORT TO COME TO NORTHERN IRELAND :D all you need to show is your license at the boat as it is in the UK still :D

[freebbob]

yes but i would say that 3/4 of the trip is in ireland where you do need a passport, so it would be an expensive trip just to come and see us cross the border without them

[Missing_pilot]

but isnt the boat going to ireland anyways?! :\

[jonnygearbox]

you dont need a passport to go over the border. your getting the boat into the belfast not the republic of ireland. all you need is a driver license

also you dont need a passport to drive around the south of ireland

[Missing_pilot]

cool sounds good!

just need to save up now!

[jonnygearbox]

Get saving everyone :) This hopefully with be a big one :D

[SeanH]

[SeanH]

I think you'd be barred from going down below deck to the cars as its the usual with all ferries? but I'll see not sure what the dates are for this yet as I cannot find them wouldn't mind doing it as long as 1 or 2 peeps from CC i know personally are doing it (no offence to the others!)

[Terri-ann]

Hey jonny,
I live in Dublin and as a FYI to you all i would advise you find somwhere either north or south of Dublin to park the cars and get the luas light rail system in, ive heard of a number of accounts of wingmirrors going missing when cars are parked in the city center, also, if your on the outskirts it will be easier on traffic.
Have you also tried to ring those hotels and see if they will give you a group discount for the fact your using them?
And also Eddie Rockets is the best place in the world!! :)

does that mean your coming too?! :P

[Rossi46]

Might see about going to this

[carl-04]

PM me with the details mate , id love to give this a go , thanks

[woop]

em is this still happening?? just seen it now .........live 40 minutes from dublin city centre
if you uk lads keep youre eyes open too you might see a few things thatll confuse you too in regard to different badging of the opels opc instead of vxr.....sxi 1 litres etc, etc

you dont need a passport but in the coming year you will

and some of the best driving roads are in kerry and cork although twisty so perhaps a good idea to be missing them unless your up for offroading
