A food and geochat caching meetup for regulars and newbies, in the surroundings of the Ikea Restaurant in Dublin.
No excuses for any of you - due to the eye watering price of Dublin hotels (€517 flex rate for two nights!!!) I will be day-tripping Dublin for this edition of Swedish Breakfast. Which means that there is absolutely no excuse for anyone to say it is a long drive. Get thee into your cars and get to Dublin for a caching event and perhaps some grub if you fancy it.
The Swedish Breakfast series is one of Dublins regular events, taking place every six months approximately... ample time to have tried the hints gleaned from the previous meetup! So come join us for breakfast in Dublin on Sunday 29th October from 930am until 1130am. 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 seats to the right by the wall (not the windows) as you walk away from the tills.
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 (by not giving them to me) 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. Every time I host one of these, I look into Belfast as well. The equivalent two nights were up to £266 and for an extra €50 I could fly to New York and back this very weekend on a deal I found. I just can't justify it but I promise I do keep an eye and I will do an SB Belfast when the cost is sane. Even I can't daytrip Belfast as I'm coming up from Cork. Dublin, just about.
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 or 155) will get you to Ikea, even at this hour on a Sunday.
