South East Plein Air

We'll be heading to Edermine Forest, near Enniscorthy Co. Wexford, this day Week.. Sunday 18th August..

Enjoy. Very sorry to miss this. Away.

Not to worry terry, there'll be another soon enough before Autumn takes a hold....

Sorry all, change of plan for next Sunday, as Bargy Castle is now available to us for Sunday 18th August.. A new venue, which will be nice to explore..Further details on the event page...

Can someone please send me directions to Bargy Castle. It's not on my maps. I will be coming from Kilkenny.

David Goldberg

Bargy Castle: After Rosslare roundabout, take direction Rosslare Harbour. Turn right direction Kilmore Quay. Just after Greenacres pub on your right, turn left and you will come to a crossroad. Take a left turn and the entrance of Bargy Castle is on your right.

Coming from Kilkenny do I go trough Thomastown? Where is the Rosslare roundabout? David

Hi David, here's the route to Rosslare Harbor on Google maps : Link

You'll go through Tomastown, New Ross. When you near Wexford, you'll come to a roundabout, turn right ,(heading towards Rosslare). Drive straight through the second Roundabout(Whitford Roundabout), Then at the third Roundabout(This is known as The Rosslare Roundabout) turn Right...then follow the directions below

Karen

Thanks.

Hiya, is the group going to paint somewhere this Sunday, 25 August?

Hi Lynne,  Boredale Forest near Edermine Co. Wexford has been earmarked for this Sunday (an impromptu paint out). Sorry I'm a bit late to post. Thanks for your suggestions under the discussion forum.. We were in Ferns earlier in the year, during their Medieval Festival..Couple of great spots there alright..and Leighlinbridge is a great spot too..maybe we can go to that location you suggested.. Travel is a bit of an issue this year with the cost of petrol, but maybe we can carpool for that location...

Many thanks to Bernadette Doolin for this : ..

 From wex.Thru oylegate.take left for bree.over edermine bridge.come to a t junction.turn right.follow this road for couple of km.then boredale is on the right handside on a bend in the road.you will see the car park.if you were to continue on there is a garage that you can get coffees sambo etc.

Hi Bea, Dunleckney Manor, near Leighlinbridge, Co. Carlow has been suggested by Lynn. Huntington Castle is certainly another option. AIO had one of it's paintouts there last year, and a return trip beckons. But if it's favorable to everyone, we may look at Dunlecky Manor first, as we haven't been there before. We'll need a couple of weeks to arrange that one, and I'll post as soon as there's confirmation. This Sunday, the general consensus is Currolcoe (Meet @ Ravenwood) Co. Wexford...details will be posted later today...thanks for the suggestion !

Giving rain for Sunday..how do people feel about a paint out somewhere ??

I think tomorrow may be dry but cold in the South East, Karen. Latest forecast is that rain will be confined to Ulster and North Leinster, but rain will spread everywhere from the West in the evening/overnight. If it's dry, I'd be up for a paint-out somewhere local.

How about Ferns and Ferns Castle?  At least the castle has a tea room, toilets, and shelter from the rain (if the forecast is off!)

Ballycross sounds good. I think the weather will be OK!

We usually give ballycross notice before going there..I don't think I can make it tomorrow, so whatever suits you guys....

I missed the last one there. If its a half-decent day, I'll go as well.

Could someone please send a link to a google map for Ballycross?

I was sorry to have missed Ballycross last week...anyone interested in a return visit ? ?

I wouldn't mind going back if the day is reasonably bright.

Ditto.  Not my back, just too tired to paint.  That's a sad state of affairs!!  I'll watch the site also. Thx, Karen!

Great.. Ballycross Apple Farm it is !

Forecast is looking a bit dodgy! Hopefully Met Eireann is wrong about Sunday.

And...they're off!! SEPA's first paint-out of 2014 here at last: http://pleineire.ning.com/events/sepa-paint-out-to-duncormick-sunda...

Forecast for Sunday looks okay so I hope to be out somewhere to hunt up some inspiration. Anyone else?

Yeah, I'd love to, especially since I missed Duncormick.

I hope to be able to join you.

After a hasty vox-pop at Karen Scannell's Swallows' Nest life-drawing session, Tintern Abbey it is for Sunday's paint-out.

The forecast is chilly but bright so I'm heading up to Courtown near Gorey and expect to be there about 11.15am somewhere down by the harbour for a coffee before starting.

Anyone who knows the place better than I do could perhaps recommend a cafe? Hope to see anyone else who wants to get out and paint...

Looks like the Taravie Hotel at the Harbour or, failing that being open, the Fisherman's Wharf across the road from it will be our first port of call for a caffeine hit.

Was hoping to see if there's any bit of craic happening on Sunday but must admit the forecast isn't too promising. If it turns out fine in the sunny S.E. I'll post here where I'm off to and anyone is welcome along.

Looks like it's going to be a wet day unfortunately.

Hi , delighted to be a member of the south east group . 

I gotta get outta da house! Any suggestions / takers for tomorrow? I'll post somewhere in the morning if anyone cares to join me. Cold but sunny is the forecast in the S.E.

Anyone fancy a trip to Wells House? Lift from Wexford offered with me an' Neil...

Ok, call me a wimp. The wind chill factor at the coast (if its like today) could be a clincher.  Lets have some feedback folks.

OK, you're a Wimp. Weather forecast at 8am this morning good for the day ahead. Bright all day, wind abating as the day goes on. Temp, 9 - 10 degrees. I'm up for it if you are. Tom
