Don’t go to DublinKite festival on Dollymount beach/bull island, its wayyyyyy overcrowded, queues are dreadful, the shuttle is one if those slow mini-trains, and you’ll be waiting 30 minutes+ plus to get it on the way back, it should be held over 2 days to spread the load.
Ok by bike with kids?
Serious question!
yeah, it’d be fine by bike
i didn’t find the queues too bad for it last year
while I was trying to remember “I asked them There are bike racks at the end of the Causeway close to the Interpretative Centre [totally overloaded] and we will be putting temporary bike racks on the beach, [lines of ropes pegged to the ground afair] close to the Life Guard station. Kathryn”
Weather was ace last year.
Not looking so good this year… may reduce the numbers a bit.
I thought the plans for this were still up in the air?
I’ll get my koat.
I hear they just string you along.
Many politicians taking part. It is summer recess season so they need some practice.
