I'd be interested in just the drive and the meuseum, not so sure of the grub if the family tow along, but maybe if there was one or two of them...

Just after spotting that the 1st is a Sunday and the 2nd is a bank holiday and on the 3rd I have to be at the airport. Could end up making a weekend of it! Thankfully, there are no mini-Feys so it really could be a plan. However, where's Howth???

Howth is the eastmost part of Dublin on the nortsoide.
If you head out from the city past busaras just keep going straight and it is about 12 or 15 miles. There used to be (presumably still is) a large factory just opposite it

Yep that big cement works is still there
BTW anyone coming from the M50 should just keep going straight through
all the roundabouts and juctions into (Baldoyle), The Road curves to
the left (Nasty speed ramps) then you'll pick up the signs for Howth -
very simple.
The map above
sort of takes you off towards Portmarnock but its not necessary unless
you want the scenic drive in which case go into Malahide and follow the
coast road all the way round. Hopefully everyone is suitably
confused now

Honestly can't remember the name of it - probably too intoxicated going
to or from pubs / restaurants or too busy watching for speed traps
which there can be a lot of around Malahide, Portmarnock and Howth so
watch the speed lads.
Easy targets around these parts and big boy racer brigade which can draw a lot of unwanted attention.

Our Lady of Natural Aspiration , please pray for me .

1. are people who are eating (in the Big Blue place) doing so before or after the museum? I might leave eating till after! 2. if before, what time are you going to it? 3. the museum opens at 2pm so if everyone is there by then. I guess any convoy leaving Halfrauds would need to leave about 1:30.

I'll eat any time of day but after the museum would probably be best. I'm sure i'll have no problem finding the place once I come off the M50 is Howth signposted from there.

I can honestly say that you will not be going with us if that is the case!
