Evening all, Myself and the wife have a free pass from the kids this weekend so are looking to head off tomorrow for a few days on our own for a change. Looking for some suggestions / ideas please, Ideally somewhere with good facilities, some nice walks or things to do and a pub for some evening grub and few beverages

Wexford maritime festival is on this weekend. http://wexfordmaritimefestival.ie/wp/ Ferrybank caravan and camping park gets good reviews on here if you're looking for a campsite. It's about the closest you'll be able to park to the quay where most of the action takes place.

What Mark said

A lot of places though, Lumpers Bar - great walks into the Cooley Mountains.

Tollymore Forest park.

Castlewellan Campsite.

Annalong Aire

The list is endless with that distance, have you got our app? http://motorhomeparkingireland.com/

Carlingford sounds amazing, If only they had EHU there, Would be shot if the missus missed her tv shows before bed

Have a 12V TV, Actually never been turned on

We have a 28 inch there that we use with our android box and my 3 router to watch tv and access all the channels when we go away with EHU. There is an old Oyster system in our camper that is knackered (Must actually look at removing it!) But if you had any recommendations on what to use with our 12v tv for tv access then my life would be a whole lot easier

An aerial for basic free channels or the same setup as your android box on a firestick. Take usb power from the TV.
Your android box might even do that already.

If you go to carlingford ask one of the staff Darren paddy ,Johnny could you use the ehu from the boat yard I don’t think there would be a problem you park along the fence in the car park

The BBC I player on the I-pad is very useful.

Admittedly a small screen but you generally have 28 days to listen to or watch your download.

Plenty of categories to choose from.

Carlingford a must and if you really need to use power ask Johnny paddy or Darren and they will let you hook up down at the boat yard for an emergency or offer them money for the use of but if you’ve not been before go
