Tour of Ireland
North to South Ireland along the West Coast.
26th June - 5th July 2009.
We have been asked many times by members to organize a trip to Ireland. After our good friends and neighbours did such a trip with the Riley club and came back with glowing reports, Ray and I decided it was a must for the Panthers. Armed with their file full of details and tips from them on how to improve the experience, it was on. We found out that our UK member, Steve Moore from South Quay travel, was an expert on Ireland when we asked for some help and advice on the hotels already recommended. He not only went through our planned itinerary, but adjusted it, recommended better hotels and got us a very good deal both at the hotels and on the crossings. I can’t thank Steve and his workforce enough for all the time and energy they have put into this trip for us. We will be travelling from North to South Ireland along the West coast staying in a variety of hotels on route on a Dinner, bed and Breakfast basis. The price is very competitive at £699 per person based on Twin /Double occupancy including ferry crossings.The trip is already proving very popular and the full itinerary of our proposed trip to Ireland is outlined below.

2) HSS Stranraer/Belfast Depart 14.40 arrive 16.40

Routes and places to visit on route will be advised well before departure and it is hoped that our Irish members will be meeting up with us during our visit.
