Type each co-ordinate into Google Maps Martin then you can mark your own paper map with the correct point and away you go. Somewhat tedious admittedly, but it would work.

Do give it a go though. It's the best excuse you can have to head away for a wee spin on the bike.

Cheers Aidan, paper it'll be, but think I'll hold back till weather improves.

no rain saturday in the land of green...........

bit today and argh sunday

they said rain here all day tuesday

saw a 10 min light drizzle all day.........

I went out this morning with three friends and got 4 points done, we were out for over 7 hours and only an hour in the rain. Pics to follow.

I decided to do a few photo Photo Rally points with some friends today, so first was the Martin Finnegan memorial

I proposed doing this with a few mates who had never done the Photo rally before,

It was a bit muddy, but they got into the spirit of it!

We found our last point while it started to rain, not too unlucky with the weather , as it had only just started to rain...

With the changing political climate, we decided to offer ourselves (momentarily) as candidates with an even more narrow viewpoint!!!!!!!

I'm itching to get started on my first photo rally !!! Looking at everyones pics is making me eager to get going. Though I have till November so I'll wait for a bit of decent weather. Hope Easter is good, off work for a week so I'll maybe rattle a few photos off

With the young lad on mid-term break we decided to do a spin and catch a few of the photo points. Weather was a bit shitty the first day, fantastic the second and mediocre the third. We stayed in the youth hostel in Dunlewey near the roofless church on the second night - well recommended if you're not fussy about the proximity of a licensed premises.
