To be sure I go for the walking
With a rucksack on my back
But I also go for the drinking
The friendship and the "Craic"
I cannot wait for September
Meet friends both old and new
I cannot wait until the day
I'll be with all of you

Be content with a mistake or two. Perfection holds no compromise. It's a prison for perfect people .Where the flag of insanity flies

Don Cummer is on the list. That means live music at every walking stop :-)

***And Henning Franz is on the list, too. That means live music also between the stops! :lol: / Jarkko***

We can hardly wait! It will be so good to see many folks who we haven't seen in quite some time (and meet some new folks as well)!

Do we all fit into one bar or do we have to block all Galway bars ? I am happy to pay extra for priority boarding at the bars.
