        Last years one was excellent. I'd recommend it to anyone in the general area.

        Can anyone confirm times?

                      Hi Murph

                      yeah...I'm really looking forward to it too...bringing kids with me, hope to meet up with some of the lads, see how things are going etc

                      I'm working in a company now in the old Verolme dockyard, so look across the river now and again...stir up the old emotions!!!!!!!!!!

                      See you Saturday

                        Can someone give me directions on how to get there, from tunnel roundabout?

                          Easiest way is to go straight through tunnel heading west. Go past blackrock exit, and take the next exit (for douglas). Once you take this exit, you'll see an off-ramp to the left. Ignore this, and go straight up the hill, heading for Carrigaline/Ringaskiddy. I'm not sure if there is a sign pointing for the ferry or not, but your ultimate aim is to head for Ringaskiddy. About five miles after the Douglas exit, you'll come to a roundabout at the bottom of an incline. Take the first exit (left) heading for Ringaskiddy. The Naval Base is about five miles from here, but you just stay on the road. Go past ADM, and Pfizers until you arrive into Ringaskiddy. Keep going straight through the village, until you can't go any further. You should see the water directly in front of you. The road leads onto the bridge so just cross the bridge, and turn left at the end, which will bring you into the base.

                          The base is about 12 miles from the tunnel. Alternatively, you could go to Cobh, and get one of the ferries across?

                          Hope this helps

                              No problem. Find Murph, and I'll probably not be too far from him!
