Hi all,this sounds like great craic We stayed at Actons campsite last summer for 3 nights. its a really cool spot. theres plenty of choice for pitching, there was a good buzz about the place. a crackin sandy beach.Def bring your fishin gear. lots of fishing of the rocks to be had too.Only downside when we were there was ..there were only 2 or 3 loos,and showers for the entire site. maybe this is better now i dunno. Would def go back.Plus you have the bright lights of Clifden to blow some Euros  near by too. 8) this was our pitch with our two tents :)

I'm definately not available for this, as much as I would love to be.  I came across this video though and it does look class down there.

We could change the dates if it suits you better?

Sorry, kept meaning to pop back into the thread.  Thanks for the offer of looking at the dates.  Although I am busy on the provisonal dates, it isn't just that, I'll have had a few 2-3 day trips this year already so I couldn't justify the time for this, unfortunately. :(

Regarding the dates for this, have they been set in stone, or are they still provisional?  Just wanted to ask, so I can get the time off booked in work.  In case I miss out as July has already been fully booked off.

The only downside to going outdoors is having to come back inside.

I'd love to, but I don't think I could get off work this late notice.

Could set the date to a certain weekend in October Aragorn.  ;)

Realistically would we be sharing a car/minibus or getting the train or bus down.

I have a feeling it would work out roughly the same price either way.

Sorry for not getting back to you on this.. I was hoping we could prospone this to an alternative date. ATM I'm not sure when as it depends on funds and employment. If you's want to work on a date I will know better after the 24th whether I can go or not.
