Pwllheli - Arklow - 12 or 13th Feb

Jono Garton · 04 January 2006, 15:20

Who's up for Pwllheli - Arklow 12 or 13th Feb (which ever is forecast) ?

Leave early doors and return the same day possibly overnight if forecast is good?

Who evers coming needs very, very warm clothing.

I would fancy it if the weather looks decent enough to risk the drive down from Newcastle the night before. Also living up here means warm clothes not required, thick blood you see..

........just be u for this despite the warren being closed. I am just planning a trip away but I don;t think it will start until the following week. I will keep you posted in the next few days.

Jono

Let us know if you will need petrol and we will see what can be done.

At worst petrol is available on marina in dun Laoghaire which is only an hour away.

Might be up for that Jono if I can get the time of work

Milan · 07 January 2006, 10:46

Jono do you mean 80nm round trip or 80nm there and 160nm round trip

Jono Garton · 07 January 2006, 16:26

its 160nm round trip, it will prob just be a one dayer on the sunday

Jenk'o · 07 January 2006, 23:45

That is serious millage, in one day. We are up for that

How far is the petrol station from the marina? We can carry 125 litres plus a 20 litre drum. Definatly need fuel for the return trip.

Jono Garton · 08 January 2006, 07:37

I would think you need at least 160 litres + 30% spare on 115hp 2 Stroke ???

I'm working to the rule that my 90hp (carbs) and 140hp (efi) use 1 lite per nm and a 2 stroke uses twice as much.

I dont how far the petrol station is as last time i did it there and back on what i had on board, our Irish freinds are helping.

Are the Jakeens coming?

TIM · 08 January 2006, 10:18

you can rely on help from Us ....... we have some fuel drums too... and can help with that end of it ....... if you stay over night ..... I would say it would be a great night.

Jenk'o · 08 January 2006, 11:13

The jakeens (Jenkinsons). There are four of us coming? you are bang on with the fuel figs Depending on the sea conditions.

Ezgoing · 22 January 2006, 20:34

Jono

Have you considerred running up to dun Laoghaire and refueling at the Marina?

The time saved in the refueling could be worth the extra miles and the lack of hassle with drums etc.

Have fun to one and all...

Jono Garton · 03 February 2006, 20:29

Could do with 4 decent sized reliable ribs if were gonna go.

Jono Garton · 04 February 2006, 07:06

The plan is a 1 dayer on the sunday, leaving at 8am on the dot and there for midday, lunch and a guiness and back before dark.

Boat storage and B & B are not a problem in Pwllheli for the sat or sun night.
