I was up in the mournes for a wee run a couple of weeks ago and stayed in attical
A few years back we had a meet there with the forum an a few of us stayed there on
the friday evening before the main bunch arrived on the saturday
We headed to find the local pub in blizzard like conditions which was at the local GAA club
It was a small portacabin and this was to be there last night in it,and not one of us had a camera
to photograph this last evening in the ”pub” :oops: some photographers we are

Anyhow while I was up I headed for the new pub in the GAA club and……you guessed it…
the portacabin was still on the go and no sign of the new pub opening….3 years later
The wee man behind the bar even remembered me saying I was there with 2 cork men and a couple of ladies from down the country
I had a good night craic with the locals but still didn’t have the camera with me

Ah very cool Cathal !. That was a very memorable night. The girls will never drink coffee again :)

I can’t believe that you didn’t have a camera with you, jeez :) It’d be worth a trip up there just to take photos of the
folks in the pub tbh.

I feel a trip to somewhere coming on :)

Speaking as one of the “cork men” thanks for posting this Cathal – that was a memorable night, I don’t ever recall feeling so cold on the way down, but strangely warm on the way back!! ;)
