do things kick off friday night or saturday morning
For a trail riding experience lead by Brian? I would suggest that £10 should be considered an absolute minimum! 
How many now BrianRavenbyrne said:
And now for the off road junkies who want to get down and dirty in the mountains and bogs of Fermanagh!
Brian McGirr (http://www.trailbikeireland.co.uk/) has kindly offered to take some intrepid souls on a trail ride on Saturday.
The off-road riders will leave Saturday morning at 8.00am and will be in Ballyshannon by 12.00. Anyone wanting to return to the talks in Cavannacarragh Hall can be back from there by 1.00pm and will feel that they have had a good day’s trail riding. Those staying off- road will continue on to Ballyconnell and Manorhamilton, arriving back at Cavannacarragh Hall by 4.00pm.
Brian has asked that a £10 charity donation be made by each participant. This will be donated to the Childrens Heartbeat Trust based in Royal Childrens hospital. A tenner!?
Signup sheets for the ride will be available at the reception desk on arrival.
Please note that you take part in this rideout at your own risk and therefore you should ensure that your bike insurance adequately covers you for this activity.
you'll get great view of cliffs and can also
see America on a clear day
