Carlingford this evening

You are correct t18con, there is a sign up beside the castle, at the civil defence building, but and its a big but, we were talking to a man called Shane who is also a MH'er and works on that side of the harbour, when I said to him there was a sign bside the castle pier, he said and I quote " If anyone says anything tell them Shane from Louth Adventures said it was ok," He went on to describe all the plans that are in place with funding from Failte Ireland for the Carlingford Harbour area, and plans in place for a mountain bike track in the forest area behind the town, also the parts of the pier that he works from, he will be looking to put in EHU in the future. All this is without the say so of the local busy bodies, He even described to us the fact there is now a split in the local tourist office. He even told me where I could top up my fresh water from on the pier without asking anyone. Down as far as parking along side the harbour pier wall, (plenty of room to reverse down), he said as long as you stay tight to the wall and not obstruct other users, nothing can be said, and if it is, refer back to the first statement. When I asked him about the Carlingford Adventures site, his reply was, he owns inside the fenced area and the building, the rest of the area is public property. He is well aware of the spending power of the MH'ers and this is what he uses as a selling point to failte Ireland, for the grants he has received and is going after in the future.
