Fair enough then. Pity, as it is a beautiful sweeping bend particularly going up it. Wife's cousin lives near Clonea Strand. Beautiful part of the country, highly underrated. And you have The Tannery! Hopefully will have an action plan on new arrival on Tuesday. The ideal would be if the wee bint would arrive this evening but no hope of that. Raspberry leaf tea, me bum.

I live near Dungarvan and have been pulled over by the guards at that very 80 k zone you mentioned. But then again, I have also seen a crash at that point and a neighbour was in another crash there so, that's why they want ppl to slow down. It's lala's who don't know the road who go up and down it too fast who cause the accidents. Blaming the council and the guards is too easy (I say). (Nice site and good luck with the impending arrival) Ha! I live near Dungarvan and have been pulled over by the guards at that very 80 k zone you mentioned.

But I think "around 5 is the important bit". One thing I heard on the news is that the Garda campaign started on Friday evening. Because of course no-one ever takes a half day on a bank holiday weekend. I wonder how many of them were out at 5am on Saturday? There was no sign of them at any of the usual Youghal to Dungarvan spots early on Friday. Ye gotta just love their reliability in always being in the highest revenue generation lowest danger spots on the road. Speaking of that route, I'd love to know who came up with the 80kph stretch at the top of the hill approaching Dungarvan on the west side. And as for the new 60kph on the overtaking lane on the east-side, arggghhhh are they trying to create accidents by encouraging everyone to overtake in the last 200 yards when it goes back to 100kph? Good!

Same number of cops encountered. Silly me for thinking that the worst weekend in the year for road deaths would bring out the force en masse.
