the irish ferry early bird 25% discount is only on till 23rd Jan ... but its only going to save £25, so I am in no bug rush

thinking about this route, sailing from Holyhead at 11.30 on the way out friday, and return boat leaves Dublin at 2.15pm monday

[tony.mon]

Mac booked the ferries but I believe it's the 14.10 ferry from Holyhead on Thursday and leave Dublin at 08.45 Monday am.
So that's a lovely 500 mile plus ride on the Thursday with a ferry rest in the last third.

Can you join us on either or both of these?
The more the merrier.

you going up thursday rather than friday? is the 2.10pm boat one of the fast irish ferries ones [1hr 50], or one of the slow stenna ones [3hrs 15]

Ok I booked with... https://www.irishferries.com/uk-en/to-i ... om-britain

Holyhead 19th outbound 14.10 ---Dublin @17.25

Dublin 23rd return 08.45---Holyhead @10.45

So if the time seem a little strange, heres why...

We have a 5 + hr ride to get to Hollyhead so the 14.10 gives us time to get there without a stupidly early set from home & at the other end it means we wont be getting to Fabios stables too late in the day.

On the return the early time basicaly means we wont be riding home in the eve rush hour at our end...


Oh & the outbound ferry is a slow one, the return ferry is the fast one...


£91.87 with the discount 25% for early booking but + 2.50 booking/admin charge.

There is an upgrade avaliable you can go club class for an extra £20 per journey, gives you prority boarding, a seat, drinks & newspapers...

That's not a bad price at all! Good work and nice to see people are committed! Worth pointing out at this stage NI has even worse weather than the mainland but here's hoping for some sunshine!

You live here! And what has the alignment of plants got to do with it?
