ring of fire

i had to cancel a trip to france , but that week that i was supposed to be in france i caught a 25lber out of the lough maybe it was faith ?? although if id been to france prob would of had much larger fish , still though i was happy enough with that 1

The same happened to me last april Carpking I was going to go to Island lake with the lads but pulled out.I got the 25lb from the lough the morning they were leaving for France.

12 of us hit briugille at the start of april. every swim gave up 30`s and i had a 42.14 mirror,best fish of the trip. Between us we had a few thousand pound of fish, I end up with 32 fish(including 9x20`s,3x30`s and the 42)total 626lb by myself! Next best fish were 39lb common(kev gerry),38.12 mirror (dave phelan)and plenty more like that from the rest of the crew.Al ot of PB`s were broken. A very good trip for us.

Sounds like a good one Rory
I put up a folder in the Gallery if you wanna put some pics up .

Just back from la Fonte and had a great time with the usual roller coaster ride of emotions that go with it.

I am booked in for next year but i dont want to land bridge like last time and i was wondering

1- What ferry operator do use from Rosslare?
2- How long does the sail take
3- What is the usual day and time for departure from Rosslare?
4- What is the usual day and time for departure from Cherbourg?

Cheers RWMOL

Irish Ferries go from Rosslare,it takes 21 hour to Cherbourg and i think 18 hour for Rosscoff.The boat only goes to Rosscoff between May and September.It leave Rosslare at 16.00 and leave Cherbourg 18.00 French time.

Cheers AJ,

How much would you expect to pay for a return with the cheapest cabin?

For two lads and a car it cost around €300 return

Do not under any circumstances go with the cheapest cabin Wildman. We got them going to Margot and they were a nightmare. It's about 45 degrees warm down there and you're situated right on the f**king engine. You can hear the pistons going all night which isn't the best for the mind when sleep is needed. About 10 double JD's got me though it but then again I wasn't driving on that trip.

An extra 15/20 euro will get you a room at sea level at least. We went for the 'penthouse' ones a few weeks back, much better - en suite shower and jacks, and air conditioned. Those one's we had going to Margot give you some idea of what the Holocaust must have been like, just swap the Nazis for the Polish/Lithuanian crew and Hey Presto! Aufschwitz 1944.

Cheers Boys,

I think i might be going on my own, as for the cabins i think i will go for a cheap one and get then i can sleep throught anything.
