Garden Gate Holiday Rip-offs


Anyone else remember having garden gates like these as a kid?


They were usually cream and black.

We're having a week in Murrisk on the west coast of Ireland later this year, staying with an ex work colleague who has converted an annex into a holiday let. A week of walking, kayaking (hopefully) and sightseeing in gorgeous countryside framed by mountains and the sea, as you can see from her photos below. 






Yesterday morning I wanted to book the Bristol airport car parking. There is a myriad sites that maintain they can get a better deal for you if booking in advance - one is Airparks. Tried them and the cost would have been £46.99, which they allege is a saving of £17.01. What that is a saving over is not mentioned - for obvious reasons - but you're led to think it's over the standard price when booking direct. 


Being a suspicious individual, I went to the official Bristol Airport car park site and got exactly the same price. Bastards! Beware of these sites that make you believe you'll get a better price by booking through them.

Murrisk h'm, yes you will be able to walk up to the top of Croagh Patrick, some do it in their bare feet as a penance - silly people.
Enjoy, enjoy.

Mel - methinks stout boots will be the rig of the day, not Chinese seaboots (flip-flops).

I have always believed that mountains are best viewed from the bottom.
