Nah, the Garda wouldn't like the PSNI in their patch.

Inishbofin?

Somewhere in Connemara - or just north of it?

St Margarets Bay?

Not for wimps, this place......

Sorry guys you're still not there.

Mind you, we'd only seen one other yacht being sailed in the previous hundred-plus miles. It's the sort of place that only rufty-tufty derring-do types like Long John Sadler and Webfoot would know.

Fair Isle?

Re: Not for wimps, this place......

So there's no actual evidence that the Vikings ever visited then... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Rathlin?

Re: On no! Not another \"where-is-it\"?

Dearie me, Claymore, you've been dozing off in front of the common room fire again. We've already established that it's not within the curtilege of the PSNI, though the Garda would be unlikely to visit. Unless they were birdspotting or sumfin'.

Any Chav estate. There's one knicking a paddling pool now!

Re: On no! Not another \"where-is-it\"?

Now that sounds like a case for Paul Barrett and Tuscair. A fine looking boat, that I believe may still be up for sale.

It's a terrible thing that a Scot has to come and help you out here. Try Co Donegal.

Your're getting warmer now.

Re: On no! Not another \"where-is-it\"?

I'll keep knocking them out and you keep knocking them over so /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Port Ronan Pier?

 

[Sgeir]

Re: On no! Not another \"where-is-it\"?

I'm a frayed knot. You're too far north and east now. Keep trying.

PS It's an island (very helpful clue).

 

[Dyflin]

Re: On no! Not another \"where-is-it\"?

Ah bejaysus, I'll just name some more so.

Gola, Island Roy and Inishfree as well as lots of small islands which have slipways and deserted houses all talked about here:

What a good weblink - very interesting. According to your link, the island in question was evacuated in 1943.

I believe that there are good cockles in that part of the world?
