Long weekend away in Ireland

[gullick]

Hi, anybody know the cheapest way to get to Ireland and camp there for a long weekend? I'm not interested in going to any cities, I'd prefer to go somewhere in the countryside and admire nature, but not too far from civilization. I'd also like to go somewhere where they don't hate the British lol

I'm living in the West Midlands just in case thats relevant.

Thanks, I'd try the holiday websites but they try to make it all inclusive, all I want is cheap transport and a quiet area to camp.

The site only has links to farms in Northern Ireland, I'm looking more at mainland Ireland, thanks a lot for that though, I'm gonna bookmark the page for future reference :)

Edit: Tell a lie! I've found it :P

Edit2: Ah no I haven't :(

ryanair or flybe budget airlines are cheap ways to travel especially if you can bok well in advance they do very cheap deals , i flew to france for £20 including flight tax so check them out they do flights to ireland but not sure from which airports maybe need coach to connect . :D

Me being Irish and all, I've been about Ireland a lot. Beautiful in the countryside, stay the hell out of Dublin.

Go to an island in the county of Mayo called Achill. Achill island as absolutely STUNNING, peaceful and serene. Not TOO isolated, but just enough!

I love you take my advice!

1. do you know how to swim?
2. sorry everybody hates the English, we are all racist
3. get box paint it green add a few flowers and stick it on your head for a weekend

hope this helps

Actually, I find very little people in Ireland hate the English......the only reason England would be "hated" is the bloody show the English make of themselves when they go drinking after football matches in Dublin......talk about braindead...

[strider]

Ireland is a beautiful country, I would recommend it to anyone...

And dare I say it... I'm really struggling here.. But so is wales :D

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as ignorant, I definately don't think all Irish people hate the British, I only know a little bit about Ireland so I apologise.

I'm definately not accusing the Irish of being universally racist though!!!

Ah I get ya :)

Thanks a lot!!! :D

Ireland is steeped in culture and history.. I can hardly blame them for not exactly loving us brits if the history books are anything to go by..

In my experience, the Irish are fantastic people..

Go to Connemara, thats where i'm living, great country side , mountains, lakes and the sea its all there. need any advice pm me, there is loads of people doin what you are doin, you can easily hitch a lift to where you want. and you can fly into galway airport, and hey if ya need a place to stay for a night maybe i can ask herself, see if she'll let ya. ( i know who wears the trousers)

[edit]

May I come, too?

[gullick]

May I come, too?

Of course!!! :D Come one come all :)

If you're serious my email is regul@hotmail.co.uk, if anybody is interested just let me know and I'll keep you updated!:D

It probably won't be till early next year but it would be awesome if people from this forum would attend! We was going to keep it me and two of my friends because we're the only people we know who won't want to get pissed and cause a fuss (as I said, I'm from Sedgley :P)

But I know the people on here are amazing, so that would be great!

Edit: So does anybody fancy making this a forum meet-up?!?!

[edit]

Oh, thank you AV from Sedgley!
Actually, I didnt read this thread - just saw the tittle Long weekend away in Ireland - and said Yeas!! Thats it!! Im going there!!
Thanks again.
:)

Where is that?

[carlg1212]

I'd also like to go somewhere where they don't hate the British lol

You should wear a shirt that says "I love the Irish!!!" or "Irish and proud" and deliberately go into the cities just for fun.

[carlg1212]

stay the hell out of Dublin.

Why?

[soglad]

Don't shout "Top' O De Mornin'" out loud in Dublin unless you like getting punched in the face multiple times!

Plus, it's MY saying! :D

[soglad]

Why?

I'm too tired to type much.....so I'll keep it quick.

Grey, rain, drugs, drink, 9-5, home, tele repeat.
