Barry Says:
General plan is to stay at Allihies camping near Allihies village, €10/€17 per tent per night depending on Single/Double occupancy, showers take €2 coin, probably best to bring cash to pay canpsite owner. There is a nearby beach, shop and pubs. For those who want to stay indoors there might be something on AirB&B or there is the Allihies Copper Mines Lodge in the village which is the former Allihies Youth Hostel re branded. Meet Blackball Harbour at 11AM on Sat and I will give a run down on the area before we begin walking the 25 minutes over to the signal tower on Blackball Head.
Weekend of 29th and 30th April
Update from Cathy – the Lodge (hostel) is booked out but the camping site say they have plenty of room – I’ve given them the heads up there’d be a group of us
