Hey all,
The campsite which is apparently the shiz is called Actons beachside camping.
The web address is www.actonsbeachsidecamping.com
The rates seem pretty reasonable.. Let me know what you think and I can check availability.

17th to 19th but might do 16th to 19th to due to travelling down there.

 April ???

Thats a cracking camp site BTW, living of the land comes to mind there. Bring the fishing rode and something very cool on the tred of the camp site.

This is green camping for the purist! Additionally, the eco-site boasts an excellent private supply of crystal clear, organic potable mineral water. Extracted from its sand bearing soil. The mineral water, in accordance with strict regulations is delivered to its points of use, throughout the campsite.

It's August..
Yeah the campsite looks awesome and I was thinking of bringing a fishing rod myself..
I was told by the girls at Cotswold that there is an Island that you can go out to when the tide is out and it's pretty spectactular.. Possible bivvi? An it is easy to walk back if the tide is in..
Even better is that there is no chance of being ate alive by midges!!

Would love to do this.  Any date would be fine for me, as by then I should have racked up some holiday time from work! 

I'll keep an eye on this.   :)

Belfast - Dublin and then Dublin - Galway.  After that you're going to need a bus or to hitch.  Don't know if you can get a bus direct from Belfast - Galway.

Just a suggestion.  Why not get a mini-bus, that way everyone's total expediture should come down travelling wise.  We could all meet up in Belfast say?

Stole the idea from the Carrauntoohil Habitat for Humanity walk trip.  ;D
