Decisions, decisions

14/02/09 20:18
Response to the consultation document was generally favourable, so to maintain the impetus a planning meeting was called, attended by six members with another two interested. Within a surprisingly short time a consensus was reached that we would a) take two cars rather than try to hire in Ireland, and b) go outward from Fleetwood to Larne and inbound from Dublin to Birkenhead. Due to time constraints we would concentrate on Northern Ireland and the North of Ireland, subject to further detailed planning. Of which there will no doubt be lots.

Requests to the two interestees to consolidate their position seems to have prompted them both to withdraw, so it looks like we shall be in two sets of three. Just who travels with whom will be an interesting problem, with no doubt a premium set on competent navigators. Perhaps we should have a bidding system?
