First "Skelligs Star Party" August 22nd/23rd 2014

yeah its going to lash. Friday night is the only chance

Ye shower of negative nannies..
We'll have a Craic come Hell or High water..

Accuweather once told me it was raining NOW
at my location... Couldn't be more wrong as I had the scope
pointed at some of the clearest skies that year..
So the best weather forecast is a window and look out.

Cheers Roy

It depends on where you are coming from Kevin. I'm travelling from Dublin (via Limerick / Adare / NewCastleWest / Abbeyfeale / CastleIsland) to Killorgan and then counter clockwise around the ring. If you were coming from the Cork direction, then definitely Kenmare - Waterville - Ballinskelligs. But if your coming from North Kerry / Limerick / ...

Weather is showing Friday night to be clear, from 6pm through till Saturday morning at 7am.
But its going to be brass monkeys, thermals and whiskey lads!
