Hi Paul, Dates are July 5th -12th in the Maharees, Castlegregory, Co Kerry.
Accomodation info:
QUOTE(TeDeum @ Fri 19th Oct 2007, 08:30 AM) *
I have done a bit of work on accommodation (B&B and camping) for RTT08. I realise it is still almost 9 months away but this is a very popular area in the summer with limited availability so getting places to stay here will become difficult even after Christmas.
I think I have the perfect place for B&B and camping in Maharees. Jamie Knox runs a windsurfing school which has a Lodge attached. The Lodge is very modern and does B&B - all rooms en-suite and with sat TV. It is perfectly situated equidistant from our two local pubs - close enough to walk to in 5 mins or stagger back in 15. It is also the only place in the area that can manage a group. The rooms can be configured to suit one, two or three persons and a total of 16 guests can stay at any one time. It has ample off-road, hard stand parking, a very comfortable lounge and I can vouch for the fact that the breakfasts are legendary. Jamie is putting his prices up for 2008 but has agreed to offer Carpedians the 2007 price for the RTT. These are 38 euro (approx.st£25) per night per person sharing or 45 euro (approx. st£30) per night for a single room. These are very good prices for this area and the standard of the facilities is excellent.
At my suggestion he is also going to make space for camping for Carpedians, something which he does not normally offer. The camping rates are 10 euros (about st£7) per night per tent with breakfast available for another 10 euros if wanted. There will be a room with toilets and shower in the Lodge for use of the campers.
Book B&B or camping direct with Jamie through his website http://www.jamieknox.com and mention that you are from carpe-TDM or the RTT and you will get the low prices. I know the RTT is not until July but Jamie's place is very, very popular in the summer so I'd recommend booking early to be sure of getting in. If you do book can you please post it here so that we can keep an eye on who is doing what?
For those who prefer self catering it might be possible to rent a house for the week. A week rental here is Saturday afternoon until the following Saturday morning. There are two I know of that can sleep ten persons but the cost is quite high. If anyone is interested in this let me know and I can get prices and contact details.
I should mention that Jamie has predicted that the weather will be good that week with the 10th and 11th being the least nice days. He works this out from the tide tables and moon

I met Jamie last night back from his father's funeral. He has promised to sort out the booking thing. It will happen - I just have to get him focussed!

There's no great hurry as far as I can see. Jamie knows we are comin, sortin oot the details can wait awhile, he obviously has higher priorities at the mo, lettuce give him some time.

I'm up for this, but won't be able to do the full week. I'm thinking of arriving on the 5th with the rest of you, but returning on the Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll try & sort out a booking tomorrow.
Sorry for the confusion on this. It is a bit frustrating for me too. I met Jamie briefly last night (has been away in Germany on business) and he said he will come over to see me on Wednesday. I hope to have some clarity after that.

Met with Jamie today and he is a bit distracted sorting stuff that has followed on from his recent problems. He is away again at the end of this week and after that he is off for a holiday until almost Christmas. It is unlikely that anything on the accommodation front will be sorted until the New Year. Jamie is a good mate who I have known for over 20 years and I am not going to push him while he is down.
My feeling is that there is no rush with this since the RTT will still be 7 months away even in January then so there will be plenty of time for me to sort an alternative solution if needed. Hope this meets with general agreement.
