Eddie.

The more the merrier

Sorry forgot to post since, thankfully a little busy at work.
YES, 'm going to Wickla. Don't know how many of us yet so not sure about accomodation. But I'll be there!
I was going to bring BettyBlue too but its a hell of a tow with a trailer and if the kids are with me it would make for too long a day for them.

Mike

Hi All,
Will be arriving around 6pm all going well.
Any advise on my best route to get there?
Regards,
Mike
Hi Mick
I think your best road for you
Is Straight across the Country
Onto the M50 and head for Bray then wicklow town then to Arklow town turning right towards the Wicklow mointains Avoca and Woddenbridge
Then Aughrim
I think around an hour from when you hit the M50
Hope this helps
See you there Chris.Thanks for organizing.
Promise 3 maybe 4 G's.
Eddie.
Hi All.. My apologies for not attending this meeting..recent events dictate that I must assist in preparations for a traditional ceremony to be held tomorrow......Chris! have a great event and keep it between the hedges! may a good safe weekend be had by all.....
Cheers Peter
the next event will be a bit nearer you
Thats us leaving home now
See you there Boys
Great day out! Well worth the effort of the long trip, even my two passengers enjoyed themselves despite their best efforts at not.
To members of Leinster 4x4: Stevo and the gang, a sincere thank you for a most enjoyable non damaging day out.
Finally to Chris and Marty and Co who made the epic journey down to the sunny southeast, well done on another great event.
Nice to meet up with everyone and put faces to names, hope ye had as good a time as I had.

Hi All on a more sombre note-: Colin Wightman who hosted the GWOA twice at Spa has been confirmed as suffering from "Hodgkins Lymphoma" cancer of the Lymph Glands and has started a course of Kemo' this week. I am sure everyone will join me in wishing him well over the next few months with positive results.... The venue can be made available for another meet if required...
Sorry to hear that Peter
Give him all our best
I was thinking of his Site
for an event later this year
Keep us posted :(
Best wishes to Colin and family, hopefully he will make a steady recovery from his illness.
Can't see the Wicklow link for up loading the pics so I put them in under Irish G wagens and then was told I had reached my upload limit.
Help someone as I have about 30 enjoyable pics.
Regards,
Mike
PS Left the site at 6pm and got home about a little after 11pm complete with very tired kids.
Photo,s to go in here :)

Thanks for organising a great event Chris...and what a venue!!
Only snag was my lack of a "G"!! Still the Touareg got proper muddy for once!!
Great to meet the Southern G owners + experience 1st hand their engineering skills with some great examples of the Marque.... Still - at 1250 Euros for a Tax Disc, I'll stay in the Black North a while longer!!
Cheers + Thanks again
p.s. guys and girls...take a look thru the photos, some great snaps...and you'll get to see a rather neat Sprinter engine installation....one of 3 there that day. Mmmmm sprinter into pickup?? :)
Hi Chris,
Emailed the remainder of the pics to "irishrep" etc....
When you get a chance you can post them.
Regards,
Mike
A nice little turn out, something us over this side can only dream of, was Mick the dig there, what's he up to!
In answer to your very pertinant question Mr. Perfect, we have been led to believe from his very best friends that he was away in Germany chasing some young frauline.
These projects of his might not be getting finished for another while. He may end up doing the 3 peaks this year in that UTE of his.
Hope he is having fun!
Regards,
Mike
