Cool, ok I'm in with the young uns in tow.  2pm is fine for me.  Happy to go with whatever time the return is, any time from mid morning on would be hunky dory.

Should be a good turn out, looking forward to it.

[Iva Bogdanova]

Hey folks,
I won't be able to come, something came up and ruined all my plans.
Hope I'll have the chance to see you all once again before I return home.
Happy St. Patrick today and enjoy tomorrow..
Iva

Have a Happy St. Patricks day today

Was there a final decision on times for the boat?

Any of those Ram's Island veterans know what it's like for dealing with this crappy weather e.g. is there a bit of cover or a chance to put tarps up?

Location ; Rams Island Lough Neagh

Timings  ; Sat boat leaves @1400hrs to island and return on Sun @ approx 1200hrs.

Date ; 18th March

Prices ; Adult  £10  Kids   £5

This includes return boat trip to the island and secure parking, there is no running water on the island but if needed plenty of Lough water however it is advised to filter before drinking, from the dock to the camp area is a short 5 min walk.  It is also child friendly and anyone wishing to bring kids may do so, the area is good for both tents and hammocks.
