Headed over to Ireland last weekend, most excellent, flight from brum to shannon, Friday night, so dead easy, £15 each way ( excl taxes - but you don't mention them as it doesn't sound as good! ) hired a car at shannon airport and headed to Lahinch in County Clare, little surfing town - lots of space, not many kitesurfers, excellent wave potential, really needs a SW to work, oh and the flight comes back late sunday night perfect. And I managed to blag my kiting gear on Ryan Air for nowt. Just said "Top of the morning to ya" to the attendant and all was sweet!
