Depends what your budget is, whether you think Ireland is worth the effort. Also what you personally consider "cheap". Everyone's views on "cheap" will differ. Price is also dependent on the size of your camper. Ours is a smaller size motorhome at 5.5 metres. We're also here for 5 weeks. For us, I think the ferry price is worth every penny. Also, you can't really get here easily in your motorhome any other way - maybe freight from Liverpool? I think that used to be an option, no idea if it still is...

We booked our ferry tickets several months ago, cost around the £400 mark (return) from Cairnryan to Larne, that included a little extra for flexi-tickets in case we wanted to change the sailing dates at any time.

Bodgerndog in Dumfries told us the other day that friends who regularly visit her every year are gobsmacked at the increase in price for their Amsterdam to Newcastle sailing! They always bring their dog with them. The price this year for that particular return ferry route ( 2 adults and a dog) is now just under the £2,000 mark... !!!

They are now looking at air flights that take dogs instead...

Newcastle Amsterdam prices do vary a lot . Used the route a couple of times when affordable. Looked other times and sometimes £1200+ single

Walk to and from Urlaur Abbey today, 5 miles - I’m doing good! Got some of those walking pole thingies, they really help to keep me going.

Vandalism.

An outdoor shop in Kendal advertised that if you used a set of poles on a full day of hillwalking, you would save the weight of an elephant.
I think they worked on the fact that using a pole meant that the weight of your arm was supported for part of the stride.
A sort of Tesco "every little helps" thing.

My previous post for the above warning sign at the Abbey went straight to moderation! Wot?!

Apparently it is r*c*** to accuse the I*r*s* of having difficulty with sp*ll*ng?!

And here's me (Mrs Opens-Mouth-Puts-Foot-In) not even aware until now that they have a track record for having difficulty with the subject - as the above sign would seem to prove...?!

So I just re-worded and re-posted.

Dont think the moderation is working so just post away.

Aye Chris. Thinking of using them as a replacement for that fish-slapping dance you normally use to wake Trev up in the wee small hours

Oh it is, Trev, it is!

My first post about the spelling went the journey ...

Here you go, let's have a quick trial, ey?

Ní cosúil go bhfuil na hÉireannaigh an-mhaith ag litriú

Oh wot fun
