Orpheus CC Trip to County Fermanagh Friday 1st June, 2012 to 8th June, 2012

Keith had driven up from Rugby yesterday evening to stay with us as we had an early start for the fast Stena Line ferry at Hollyhead sailing to Dun Laoghaire at 10:15. We were up at 05:10 and set off around 06:00 arriving around 09:00. We were only waiting in one of the lines of cars for a few minutes when there was a call on the PA system to return to vehicles and prepare to begin boarding.

After a smooth crossing or two hours, we docked at Dun Laoghaire port at 12:15 and were soon on our way travelling around the M50 around Dublin then the N3 and M£ towards Eniskillen as far as Belcoo. From Belcoo we turned off to arrive at our accommodation at the Corralea Activity Centre where we were staying at a holiday cottage with two bedrooms: one having a single bed and a 2 bed bunk-bed and a second with two single beds, which Karen and I had.

Later on in the evening, Dan Leyden, who is currently living in Dublin, arrived for the weekend.

We had eaten some sandwiches on the journey and weren't hungry so Dan drove to Belcoo a few miles away to get a take-away.

He arrived back a little later with a very unappetising-looking pizza
