Chris's Cork Breakfasts are my new event series down in Cork, complementing the better known Swedish Breakfast events up in Dublin/Belfast as we do not have an Ikea down here. They can also be called "Cor-kea" events (thanks HH!).
Sunday 14th April, from 9am until at least 10am is the time we will be meeting in the Café at Dunnes Stores in Bishopstown. Head in the doors at the co-ordinates and the café is immediately on your left. Breakfast will be available and I will likely be partaking.
I will take up residence somewhere obvious in the restaurant and you are all more than welcome to join me to chat geocaching, to swap trackables amongst yourselves (but not give any to me) and, if you wish, to rant and give out about whatever ails you. If my other events are anything to go by, there will be stragglers after the official finish time; I will of course keep the logbook open.
This will be an opportunity to 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??
There is however, absolutely no requirement to buy food or drink at the venue. But if you are not partaking, you are not allowed to be hangry.
To/from the event:
There is plenty of parking at GZ so that is what I would recommend. I don't think any buses come this way on a Sunday morning.
I know, there are lots of events on in Ireland at the moment but this one is by far the most important and it is absolutely mandatory for everyone who attended my last Swedish Breakfast to come to Cork for this one. From the Red Cow in Dublin to GZ is 247km and only 2h30m, motorway the whole way so you have no excuse. From the outskirts of Belfast it is a mere 264 miles and 4h10m. Again, an easy short drive. So I expect to see everyone here.
If you are coming from Dublin the only time you will have to stop is at the traffic lights at Dunkettle and if you are coming from Belfast you only have Sprucefield to navigate on top of that. So like I said, no excuses.
Please note: There are actually two Dunnes Stores in Bishopstown and whilst going to the wrong one would be incredibly unlikely and catastrophically stupid, for goodness sake make sure you go to the one just off the Bandon Road Roundabout at the above co-ordinates.
