I've a fair idea how to get to Donaghy's but if I can make a suggestion and the grown-ups can comment.

When approaching Letterkenny from Strabane/Lifford or Derry direction there two lanes in each direction with Donaghy's on the "wrong" side.

I intend to go past Donaghy's on my right hand side and go round the roundabout, come back on myself, and so turn left into the Craic Meet.

Negotiating the roundabout I will use indicators in the appropriate manner.

This is optional, of course, if you are driving a BMW or Audi Motorhome.

Really enjoyed the weekend, it was great to finally put some faces to names. A big thank you to all involved in organising the whole event. As we were aiming for an early start we missed the music and the glorious leaders speech, if anyone got a recording of it please post it, but I did get to shake his hand. Thank you everybody. :up:

Thanks all for a great weekend, pity we had to leave early on Sunday so finished up early enough on Saturday night- didn't hear Ally's speech. Great craic though and all credit to Donaghys for the facilities, barbecue, and music. Plus a good opportunity to pick up a few essentials in the accessory shop!
We met some new friends, got some good intel on spots to visit, and generally had a ball.

Looking forward to the next one...

Or be a female taxi driver and go racing out turning right to go into town. This causing a large build up of wind in the front passenger seat.
