August is summer. Summer is now sadly over and we all hope it has been a good one. And we hope it'll be a good autumn, they're often better than summers in Ireland anyway. Why am I rambling? I don't know. But we can talk about that over breakfast. Swedish Breakfast. Edition #24. Be there.
The Swedish Breakfast series is one of Dublin and Belfasts regular events, taking place every few months... ample time to have tried the hints gleaned from the previous meetup! So come join us for breakfast in Dublin on Sunday, 3rd September from 930am until 1130am. That said, we have been known to stay past lunchtime and if anyone shows up after the official end I will of course keep the logbook open. We'll meet in the restaurant on the very top floor of Ikea (go in via the main entrance under the building and just follow the escalators) at one of the tables. The restaurant opens at 930am and I will have my food and be seated at about 945am. We typically sit in the same place everytime, so look towards the windows in the corner to the south west of the restaurant.
There is however, absolutely no requirement to buy food or drink at the venue; however I would imagine it is hard to watch other people tearing into bacon and sausages when you're having nothing... There is plenty of healthier food available, but I just can't resist a good fry....
This will be an opportunity to help travel bugs and geocoins on their way as well as eat a hearty breakfast ready for your own Sunday caching adventures. Bring your own personal coin/bug selection for discovery and bring your questions about that annoying puzzle along too. You may (or may not) get help! If you have any plans for upcoming caches, this event would be a great time to discuss them with the group. If you're thinking of going to your first event, come along! If you're thinking of a days shopping, why not tie it in with an event cache??
As an aside, I have developed a severe and dangerous allergic reaction to trackables of any kind. The doctor has recommended that, whilst I may look at trackables, it would be unwise, nay, dangerous, to take any travel bugs or geocoins home with me. Think of my health and remember, the larger the trackable, the worse the reaction.
To/from the event:
There is an absolutely incredible amount of free parking in the Ikea carpark so car is by far the best way to get here. Sporadic buses (13/13A) will get you to Ikea, even at this hour on a Sunday.
Please note this one is in DUBLIN! Northern cachers please bear in mind it is about a ninety minute drive at the speed limit to the Dublin Ikea from the outskirts of Belfast.
