Great idea. Will do. Just have to figure out exactly where it is on the map!

Hi Conor,

don’t know if you noticed the Fresh Food Map I set up recently?

This is the kind of place that would be perfect for the Map. Feel free to add:)

Heading southwards from ballincollig, drive over minane bridge (it’s now a flyover on the ballincollig bypass) and you come to a T junction.
Turn right then take a left to head up the hill. The farm shop should be on that stretch of road. If you arrive at a crossroads you’ve gone too far.

Walter, can you post Martin’s directions from last night as a comment? It seemed just a “touch” more direct than my scenic approach.

Sounds good, am in need of some relish as I recently got sick of Ballymaloe. Will see if I can find the place…

Must take a spin up there. I think I know the road you’re talking about, I used to travel it everyday when I was dropping Kate off at the childminder.

That could be a challenge. I tend to “feel” my way to places. Every time Catherine is convinced I am utterly lost, I usually arrive out where I wanted to be (just by the longest route possible). My worst ever short-cut near Crossbarry placed me 2 miles back from where I started.

But as a starting point, it is roughly as follows: At Grange Cross (up from old EMC entrance) head up the big hill away from EMC. At top, turn left. Go a few miles and merge with equal sized road in direction of Waterfall. Eventually come to a nasty crossroads where Waterfall is still straight ahead I think. Turn left there and they are about a mile up there. Huge unmissable entrance.

That road actually leads back to Ballincollig but the bypass changed all the roads around there and I’m not sure what the direct route is.

I must get directions from you this evening.
