Well Peeps
As promised, here is the SUGGESTED window, the main thing, I think, is to have a target meeting point then everyone is free to either want to cruise together as suggested, make their own way/itinerary but to meet up at Manix Point for the festival, stay longer or go elsewhere or go back home, its about your own choices.
The ONLY issue is Ferry Bookings and Camp Site availability, hence trying to organise early.
Friday 28th July - Cruise to Holyhead ferry port
Friday 28th July - Arrive Dublin & to selected site
Sat 29th Sun 30th July - Chilling n scheming

Killorglin Puck Fair (Info)
Killorglin is the venue each year for one of Ireland's most unusual street festivals -The Puck Fair, where the coronation of a wild male goat by a young girl is one of the most striking features of this three-day event.
The fair, which is one of Ireland's oldest and longest celebrated, is held without fail on 10th, 11th and 12th August every year with 12 hours of free family street entertainment. The three days of Puck Fair are known as Gathering Day, Middle Day, and Scattering Day.
The Puck Fair takes its name from the male goat who presides over the festival. A wild creature caught solely for this purpose, he is proclaimed "The Puck King of Ireland" on Gathering Day and is released back into the wild on Scattering Day, possibly to be caught again the next year.
The main events of the festival include a traditional horse fair, the Guinness busking competition, a parade and the coronation ceremony of King Puck, open air night concerts, a fireworks display, children's competitions, street entertainers and dancing displays.
What Now
To get sorted cos sites are filling up allready I need to know who is up for it and putting hand in pocket to get it all reserved.
Be prepared for an experience to last you a lifetime, guarenteed.
