PapaW is moving to Ireland!

Postby PapaW » Sun Sep 23, 2007 9:17 pm

Well I got the job! Gonna be the new Assistant Warden on the Causeway coast with the National Trust.
Moving out there in a few weeks :)

I've found a house in Bushmills which is 5mins from work and 1 min from the nearest surf break; Portbalentrae
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=bushmills&sll=55.215805,-6.543903&sspn=0.086277,0.119648&ie=UTF8&ll=55.202386,-6.525879&spn=0.690445,0.957184&z=10&iwloc=addr&om=1
It take about 1.5/2hrs to get to the main S.Ireland west reefs and the donegal pensula is ripe with empty breaks within an hour. SWEET!


The house is only 1 year old; 3 bedroom in this little courtyard. all for 100p/w inc. rates! Counsil tax doesn't exist in N Ireland. Well good deal :)

So Heres the invite! Anyone want to come out just give me a shout!!!
