I've no idea if this is true or not but I've heard the toll gates don't give you back change?

Anyone clarify this?
You will only need to go through one toll in Drogheda. Stick to the the left toll booths.. 2 will take cash 2 are calibrated, the two on the left take cash :)

Chars :)

Found coins to cover the way down and I'll get change at AW for the way home.

I'm thinking a NI-Wild trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at Micky D's so I may call in at Sprucefield for breakfast. I can already taste the double sausage and egg mcmuffin meal :)

Annd the video.

I was going to post it here instead of my Facebook first, but it automtically posts it for me. So second best will have to do 

Any way I can embed vimeo? I know Youtube is the most popular one, is there a similar not to hard to implement feature for vimeo?

**EDIT** Me trying to embed the video, it didnt work.

For those that missed dublin heres what Megan was up to (and another couple of pictures of AW)

http://www.mountaineering.ie/news/viewdetails.asp?ID=763

The second picture has her second boulder problem the green route starts in the bottom right of the picture then traverses left and they had to bridge on the yellow face and its opposite (that you cant see) and reach a hold at the top out of scene.

The third picture is the third bouldering problem. Green again starting with two hands on the big green under the young fella and a foot on the mini green at the bottom going up and to the right. Finishing at the big to green.
This route was the hardest boudlering route these two age categories completed so as(I assume) to get a 'winner'. Only a couple managed to make it across to the right and only one completed.

How about 24/2? would that give everyone enough time to make arrangements?
