castledermot vintage show kildare ireland sept 2016

Post by shayshondacub90 » Mon Sep 26, 2016 2:12 pm

today i was heading for castledermot in kildare for a vintage car and tractor show,
i was meeting up with some lads from south east honda club wexford and we agreed to meet in tullow carlow.
48 miles away from my home in dublin i set off at 10.00am.
very mild weather no rain i was in my element as i made my way a mere 1 hour 15 mins away.
arriving in tullow the 3 lads were waiting for me and we made our way up to the show a few miles away.
free entry in we were ushered into the field which thankfully wasent too muddy.
lad at the gate gave us a token we could use for free tea and sambos in the tent at top of field :)
parking bikes up we went in search of a sup of tae.
just as we got inside the tent the heavens opened and it lashed down for 30 minutes solid then like magic it stopped
and the sun returned and we ventured back out to admire the vintage and classic cars and trucks,,(and a few bikes too)
then we strolled back up field and our wee hondas were getting admired too..
soon it was time to hit the road and we said our goodbys and head of in oppisite directions...
stop for petrol on way home i made it home in 90 minutes and only passed tru one minor shower
110 miles done in total for the day the bike season is drawing to a close here in ireland so any day out this late in the year is a bonus
im still using bike for work 4 nites a week untill the cold weather returns then ill be back in the car :(
regards from ireland shay.
