As usual don't hang around. It'll probably fill quickly.

Is the only way 'in' via Facebook as am at work and can't access
They seem to have opened this on the quite...
Get in there quick, you never know they might limit the entry to 1000!
won't let me pay 🙁
Its in 2011 duhhhh
I feel such a fool now.
Woop.
Entered.
mine keeps saying transaction not processed?!
Holy moly the ferry ain't cheap is it 🙁
finally!
£51 ain't too bad.It won't let me pay tho-just says transaction already processed!!grrrrrrrrrrr
Exactly the same here - reads "Please contact the merchant whose goods or services you are purchasing and give the error message below.
Error 501
This transaction (78) has already been processed! If you feel this is incorrect please contact the merchant!"
Mine did that a few times then eventualy it let me in.

Oh great, its now got mainstream, my place is for sale!
Hmm, confused - I either haven't paid at all or I have blown a wad of cash on at least 6 entries that I can hand out as late Christmas presents......
i think plug away, did about 5 before got through and then got confirmation email etc so assuming only took 1 payment
Rorschach is that 51 for ferry if so where. Price of event is fine btw
😳 must learn to read.STILL won't let me in....idiot filter must be turned on.
think people across the world are struggling to be fair
Ferry Holyhead to Dublin is in the region of £300, if anyone knows of anything cheaper then lets share!
My entry is in! just need to work out how to get there now?
£300 for a ferry is a sight cheaper than 20 entries as ability to make payment is clearly directly related to ability to negotiate anything with a steeper gradient than 2% 😳
anyone got a linky please can't find the bugger on tinterweb
Oh brilliant !!!!! another freak show 😯
taz see Gils post above for linky ....
found it I'm in, just got see if any of my mates are playing or if I'll have to come and socailise at you lot 😀

We always seem to get cheaper quotes going Liverpool > Dublin
It is a Bank hol weekend though
Just got a quote of £330 for Swansea to Cork for 1 car and 3 people. Car share anyone?
I also think Irish Ferries take Tesco vouchers 3:1
Last year Markenduro and I went by rail. He was charged about £50 return from Burton to Dublin for train & ferry. We then did a cycle tour from there.
Ferries are blimmin' expensive, I can get them half price and still find it pricy. Will probably take the ferry / train again. My folks are all in the area for my cousin's ordination the weekend before so can get bits transferred by them. Might just hire a car for a couple of days.
Anyone going from Leeds 😉 tho I need to be back on Sunday as working on Monday unless I can dodge it
I have received a mail saying:
'Thank you for registering for SSWC 2011 IRELAND. We look forward to welcoming you to the land of Guinness and Leprechauns.'
That does mean my entry has been accepted doesn't it?
hope so,mine says the same !
Cheers Keith!
Having to give serious thought to the budget now......swimming looks like an option.
i'm in, gonna have a holiday whilst i'm there, never been before.
Too dear for me i'm afraid, I'm out.
So close yet so far. Might opt for the euros instead and I used to live in Belgium so its a bit easier to sort too
If people don't fancy the train and ferry to Dublin or Rosslare then look at fly/drive. Again, usually cheaper than the ferry ( it is the summer holidays and BH in the UK) and split the cost of the car.
Too dear for me i'm afraid, I'm out.
You'll probably get lost on the way anyhoo 😉
Finally managed success and although far from technically minded think it may have been due to the browser I was using as after 20+ unsuccessful tries I switched to another and had instant success. No idea what I used though. Which doesn't exactly help anyone else in the same situation, so a pointless post (again).
Perhaps a little bit more focused, happy to share ferry/travel costs for anyone coming from around Herefordshire (so SW, South Wales, West Midlands I guess). I have a car that could squeeze in two bikes (including mine) if that helps at all.
Hey Blackhound,aren't you the same 'blachound'(kev) that used to ride with us on a thursdee night over t'chase ?
You'll probably get lost on the way anyhoo
Well I certainly wasn't going to follow you! 😉
Looks like I'm. Will probably make it my main holiday for 2011 but there are at least 3 of us going from the Derby area that I know of so might see what can be done re. car/ferry share etc.
Well I certainly wasn't going to follow you!
😉
Norm no mates here, shall be riding to Rosslare, onto ferry then across Ireland. I recall me and bike about £60 return ... I'm almost excited*
* Believe me, this is not usual.
Keith, yes its me, still around but not been getting to Cannock on a Thursday night for a couple of years now. See you for a beer in Ballyhoura!
Defo mate !
(don't do thursdee's myself now a days) mail me for more info.... 😉
Cripes, even I'm in, what next!!
If enough of us got together we could charter a bus.
Epi good idea 😉
if we can get enough of those trailgator bars that join bikes together we could all ride in one gimassiveenormoussinglespeedybeardedcongadom. Pile all the bikes into a car space on the ferry and each pay about one pound and fifty new english pennies 😀
I'm in and looking forward to the Guinness and Leprechauns.
aah go on go on go on go on go go on go on
go on then, we're in too 😀
Entered, now to work out how I can afford to get there...riding sounds a good option!
@ firestarter, have a look at the coach/ ferry deals from stenna. you can get picked up in leeds on a bus eireann coach, then straight onto the ferry at holyhead, then coach takes you from dublin port to train station/ city centre.
all for £62 (if you book 5 days in advance) afaik end of august is not a bh in ireland, so fares shouldn't change that much.
all this obviously depends on you owning a bike bag, and sorting a train from dub to ballyhoura (charleville will be your closest train station, about 12-14 miles from the trails)
i'm going from leeds, but i'll have a car full of family who will be staying at my parents in tipp whilst i come last in the race, err ... i mean 'event' 🙂
if my car becomes empty (divorce or otherwise) i'll give you a shout 🙂
Has anybody managed to get a ferry inc two people and a van for less than £300 – Jeez I may have to re-think this one
£300 blips for a ferry is expensive, i normally pay about €240 going from Irl to UK and back with car and 2 people!
Fly and rent probably wont work out cheaper mind you...
You could cycle onto the ferry...then train down...
I'll be heading down so looking forward to handing out abuse to everyone. And if people want to get some riding in Dublin/Wicklow before or after feel free to hook up for a ride or 12
Is camping included in the entry of is that extra ❓
extra
Best not be an extra!!!!
I never saw anything to say it was included. Socks yes, Shorts yes, but no camping
This is turning out to be well shonky 🙁
