We camped on the Claddagh for several years, but found that nights became difficult with more and more locals in motorhomes partying into the wee small hours.

We moved on to Glenlough for a couple of years and then Ballaugh for several years.

Hired a cottage in Peel for the last few years as the bones have got a bit creaky from sleeping on the ground! Sadly that finishes this year.

Sulby Claddagh was brilliant, although few facilities, with quite a band of regulars. There was an old boy called Norman who used to marshal at the trials and held court at his van many evenings. I seem to remember he died in his sleep there about fifteen years ago!
