Tollymore Forest

Hi all

just back from Tollymore, the weather was brill and we certainly enjoyed ourselves. Although there were quite a few travellers, so parking was limited as they have 2 vans for each caravan parked on pitches and they have about 5 barking yapping dogs

But, the sun was shining and we enjoyed ourselves, apart from Murphy who was attacked by 2 of the 'yappers'

Hi Dee
If you want safe wild camping in that area use Bloody Bridge carpark or Downs Road carpark. I have never had any trouble in either and always take a dog oe two.

Hi Brian and Mark, not quite sure about the wild camping, i dont think i would sleep if there werent other people around, obviously i am presuming that quite often when wild camping you would be in the place on your own!!! I am happy enough to camp in places (race paddocks and race track) and not be plugged into electric nor have the luxury of hot showers as long as there are plenty of others camping. Although Mark, yes we probably are more campsite people, its hard to beat the luxury and feeling of safety in a camp site. Roll on Easter when Kilbroney opens again.
Dee

Thanks Mark

When you are all heading to Kilkenny we will be going to the Isle of Man for the TT races - pity the dates clash, as Treegrove is one of our favourite sites, great walk into town along the river and there is a bar/restaurant in town that lets the dog sit under the table, happy days (if your not a dog owner you wont appreciate this).
