One for the Irish fellas - Wicklow?

[The Other PaulG]

Evening gents (and ladies, if we didn't scare you all away).

I was watching the telly and saw a very pretty bit of road. Pretty sure it's Ireland, and from the programme's context, maybe near Wicklow.

Does anyone recognise this? Looks like the kind of place a chap might want to take his bike...!

 

[Flintlock]

Yep - it's the R759 running alongside Lough Tay - also called the Guinness Lough. The Viking Series was also filmed there

I’m driving a Paddywagon bus there tomorrow JJH

 

[The Other PaulG]

Thank you fellas. It's going on the list.

Bad Sisters?

Up by lough Tay there’s a lot of stuff goin on. Be prepared to be delayed. JJH

 

[The Other PaulG]

Bad Sisters?

Correct.

I really like Sharon Horgan, I think she writes brilliantly and her laugh is contagious.

In an interview a couple of years ago she was asked whether, now she was famous, it was annoying to be recognised in public. She said no it's fine, no-one notices me because everyone's always looking at my brother....

This is close to where I grew up and also not far from where I now live. If you're ever over this way let me know and I'll gladly show you some of the less trodden roads in the area. There's lots to see in a relatively small area - you just need to know where to find it

Cheers,
Seán.

There is a gap in the wall where you can get a good view down. The Viking stuff was still there when this was taken 1/10/20.
To remember whether this lake is Lough Tay, Lough Dan or Lough Bray, I remember that Tay and Guinness are both essential drinks...

Spent a week there last year touring about in my defender. Stunning place with great people.

Hey Keith, drop me a line at some point and we'll pop out for a spin and a coffee. Any excuse for a spin and I'm in!

Just up through there. Sitting here, drinking coffee and eating lunch in laragh. Good place this. Glendelough just down the road and wicklow gap home.

 

[JJH]

I was up there Sunday. A bit foggy. JJH

 

[Flintlock]

Have eaten in the Wicklow Heather in Laragh a couple of times and can highly recommend it. Great food & staff.

The front of house guy was a laugh. I popped in and said i’d just like a coffee. He said, one irish coffee coming up! Just messing obviously but good vibes.
