Parking up at Greystones Harbour

For those of you that made it to Greystones at the Wicklow weekend....

There's an article here and in the local paper about parking up at Greystones...

http://www.greystonesguide.ie/…l-tourism/

The local councellor came down and took this pic...

Would be great to see something happen here about the facilities, we'll wait and see

As an aside, Joe (Chip Shop) mentioned to Ciaran (Coucellor) what a sound bunch you all were and how good it was to see such polite and decent people using the harbour for this purpose

I mentioned that the security guard was being a bit of an asshole and he said he would follow up on some of the remarks made but that in reality, as it stands, Sispar have a no parking sign up. Basically noone bar Sispar have an issue with it.

Hopefully someday soon i'll be moving this to the legal stopovers section

Was covered in the Wicklow Times newspaper - didn't realise it was ye. Was going to post about it as a contrast to the likes of Portadown and Roscommon etc.

There were two or three parked up last Sunday too that we commented on as we passed (we were parking up by the south beach for the afternoon). That councillor is certainly close to the developers, so there may be some hope of hook up/ water and it's good to have some support for motorhomes from councillors, rather than uninformed negative stuff. More chance of motorhomes hooking up than bloody boats in the marina, with the debacle the whole harbour project has been from start to finish!

I actually feel like having to wash my hands after typing something somewhat supportive of him, as the support for motorhomes is about the only comment on the harbour so far that I actually agree with him on (he's ultra supportive of the developers.)

If it's survived the bin I'll try and get it scanned tomorrow. Just a rehash of the press release though I think.

Here's the scan anyway

We must live nearby...I'm in Greystones.

Hopefully we'll catch up some day

Hi all and great to read some positive stuff bout us CAMPER VAN PERSONS.So is it a safe spot to put on my list.Never got to that part of the country would like to visit. Joe.

Anyone got update on what, if anything, is happening with this? Were any facilities provided or have events in the economy overtaken this project also? Or was it all hot air again from our fine local representatives! It would be nice to take advantage of the present mild weather to get another overnight away and not too far from home.

No change and not likley to see anything happen for the forseeable future. To be honest, sorting out the mess left by the developers on the Bray Head side is more of a priority. For those who don't know it, there's a spectacular cliff walk along the coast from Bray but the end of it needs tidying.

Cliff Walk

On the upside, there are at least 2 vans there every night of the weekend and it's a great spot to pull up for a while. There's a couple of decent boozers accross the road and plenty of great food to be had 5 minutes walk away in the town. If I didn't live here it would be a regular haunt for us

Thank y'all for that update. Must try it out. One of these days.

Hi All, Is this area easy to find at the harbour? I am cycling in the wicklow 200 in a few weeks and plan to go down the night before.

Very easy, on your left as you go into the harbour, opposite the pub. "No Overnighting" signs but ignore them.

Ally I love it -' ignore the overnighting signs" That's class and should be published far and wide. LOL
